Joseph Forest was a French geographer and cartographer. In 1886, he founded his publishing house for maps and plans, world maps, globes, terrestrial and celestial spheres, charts, and wall maps for education at 17-19 rue de Buci in Paris and continued to operate at 1 place du 13 octobre in Bagneux. A supplier to schools since 1889 and approved by the Ministry of Public Instruction, he also included a lighter globe in his catalog. Appointed advisor for foreign trade to France in 1912, whose work he regularly followed, he was reappointed to this position in 1922. See less
