Biographie
A globe maker and publisher whose globes were drawn by Lapie the elder. These were later revised by the geographer Charles Frémin. A globe by Lorrain and a celestial based on that of Messier are also known as is a terrestrial globe dated 1842 (1). In his undated catalogue (2), Bastien states that he with each globe he offers a manual for its use. This, given that he published it, is likely to be the Instruction sur l'usage du globe terrestre et du globe céleste, by A. L. Sardou (1853).

Globe sizes: 7.5, 12, 18, 22, 27, 38, and 50cm. Various stands were available, as were globe ink-wells (2).
