1740-1817
Founded by Charles François Delamarche
who entered the globe industry as successor to the Robert de Vaugondy
family of map and globe makers to King Louis XVI.
Delamarche obtained
the shops of many of his local competitors, which enabled him to
produce globe models in many different sizes. He also republished
many Robert de Vaugondy maps and globes.
Charles worked with Charles
Dien, a cartographer. In 1817 Felix Delamarche (1817-1847, son of Charles,
took over the business which stayed in the family until 1847, when
taken over by Grosselin.
