The globe was shown at a meetingof the Royal Geographical Society in London 26 November 1860 and the following years was recommended for school use in New York (2).They also produced a map of France in relief (3).
It is possible that Benet & Thury were the married couple Anaïs Thury and Etienne Belnet for whom a house was designed by the architects Chevrot and Leprince in Dijon in 1863. It is located at what is today 23, Cours Général de Gaulle (4).
