Description: Jean-François
Nollet, a noted scientist who taught physics to
the French royal children, designed and assembled
this globe, which shows a map of the earth's surface.
In 1728 he dedicated it to the duchesse du Maine,
the wife of Louis XIV's eldest illegitimate child.
The duchesse was Nollet's most important patron
and aunt to the comte de Clermont, to whom the celestial
globe is dedicated. Louis Borde, the engraver of
the map, also sponsored the costly printing process.
He was the publisher who provided the money needed
for the engraving of the copper plate, supervised
the different stages of printing and the distribution
of the prints, and remained in principle the owner
of the plate.
