Girard et Barrère was a cartographic publishing house founded in 1934; resumed the production of Henry Barrère (1890-1930) and PH Barrère (1931-1933). He worked between 1946 and 1959 under the name Girard, Barrère et Thomas.
Man has always wanted to know the world in which he lives and has used all the means available to measure the space that surrounds him to increasingly broaden his knowledge. The conditions that allowed man to develop models of the world and space probably only came about after thought had reached such a level of development as to understand that natural processes could be represented through a model. Already in ancient Greece, naturalists had come to understand the sphericity of the Earth and its suspended position in space. The first globe we know of is the one attributed by Strabo, historian and geographer, to the Greek Crates of Mallo (around 150 BC). The first globes at the beginning of the 16th century. they were built under the pressure of great geographical explorations and immediately began to be used for educational purposes at princely courts, monasteries and colleges; the globe then begins to conquer university environments and high and low schools. It will be with the nineteenth century of great trade, circulation and the introduction of compulsory schooling that the desire to know distant countries will increase, making the old method of constructing globes inadequate. Spindles printed from engraved plates are no longer enough and the only real resource becomes lithography through which it is possible to promptly print and update maps which, with the growth of geographical discoveries made in various countries, become obsolete more and more quickly.
