Forest, J.
19th& 20th century
J. Forest made a variety of globes, largely
for school use, but also for home use. Their vast variety included
odd novelty globes, such as terrestrial globes on geared turntable
stands and cigarette lighters incorporating globes.
In the 20th
century Forest produced light up globes with interesting machine
age aluminum bases. Forest globes were mostly in French, with some
for export in English or Spanish.
The geographical publishing firm Girard & Barrère obtained
the Globe manufacture some time in the early 20th Century, but continued
to offer the models as "Globes Forest" at the same Rue
de Buci address in Paris that Forest used.
During the early and
mid 20th century the firm also produced globes and geographical
publications as Girard, Barrère et Thomas.
This may have
been a merger or partnership with the 19th century Paris globe maker
G. Thomas.
