Terrestrial globe edited by A. Jeandé , 16 rue Cassette in Paris Barbot geographer , a name associated with several other editor . 12 paper gores globe tilted at the angle of the ecliptic resting on a tripod cast iron foot adorned with lion heads and paws. The label mentioned A. Ract & Cie which was a scientific editor during the late 19th.
state of Congo (The Congo State was a private kingdom owned by Leopold II of Belgium between about 1877 and 1908), Antarctica is not yet explored , that point to the early 1880's. The condition is good for a piece of this age but is not perfect. The globe is around an 14" American size. Overall while it is not in pristine condition I believe it is a good value in term of historical content and decorative cachet , it is also to be noted that they are becoming harder to find
.Africa at that time was being colonized without any regard for its inhabitant .
Size: globe D. 14 inches , H.23 , overall fair condition with some oxidation of the paper , browning some of the color but still readable , some stable crack near Antarctica . Unusual and seldom found globe, very decorative  , some oxidation and line around the label , some touch up in the Pacific and stabilized crack .
