of models, and published in several languages. Among the terrestrial globes published by them were those conceived

by Dubail and by Bardot. A branch company functioned in Brussels under the name of A.H. Lebague & Compagnie

and this produced J.C. Bernhard's terrestrial and celestial pair as well as A. Cornelis relief map of Belgium. Their line also
