World globe's cartography is modeled after the Gilles (1688 – 1766) and Didier (c. 1723 – 1786) de Vaugondy maps. Father and son map-makers were active in Paris during mid-18th century.  The Vaugondys were well respected for the detail and accuracy of their maps, basing their maps upon their own considerable geographic research, the journals of explorers and missionaries, and direct astronomical observations.
