Father Gilles Robert de Vaugondy and son Didier Robert de Vaugondy were the leading card manufacturers in France in the 17th century.

The charming size of this globe conveys the same historical details as our larger globe models. Colour: Multicolour Material: plastic with paper Dimensions: LxWxH: 8.5 x 8.5 x 9 cm
