This globe is from the early 1910's , this type of globe belong to the tradition of globe making of the 19th century : 12 full gores on a solid ball of plaster .The art deco design of the mount is attributed to Adnet . Little is know about G.Thomas [1840-1903] beside beside being the succesor of E. Bertaud [1840-1903 , Bertaud itself being the sucessor of Felix Delamarche . It is in excellent condition , I believe is a good value in term of historical content and decorative cachet , small globe are scarce compared to the large school globe . It featured Petrograd (1913 to 1923 ) in Russia ( not yet named URSS 1923).
