About the Item

Publisher: John & Wiliam Cary Place / Date: London, 1791 Comprising twelve hand-coloured gores, annotated with equinoctial graduated in degrees and hours and ecliptic graduated in days, prime meridian labelled Meridian of Greenwich and the principal land masses outlined in colour and annotated with major rivers and mountain ranges, the oceans with islands labelled and printed with dotted lines for Captain Cook 1773 and other circumnavigations complete with dates and vessels named, the Indian ocean left of New Holland region incorporating circular printed title cartouche ‘CARY'S, Pocket, GLOBE, agreeable, to the latest, DISCOVERIES, LONDON, Pub'd by J. & W. Cary. Strand. Apr. 1. 1791’, pivoted via the poles within a brass meridian ring divided for degrees, and set within engraved paper horizon ring with compass points and degrees in both directions, Zodiac and calendar scales, the stand with four walnut turned baluster supports united by cross-stretchers and ending on tapered feet. The celebrated Cary family business of scientific instrument and globe makers was established by John Cary (1755-1835) at Johnson's Court, Fleet Street, London, in 1782, moving to a new address at 'Corner of Arundel Square', Strand, the following year. He was primarily an engraver of maps, charts, and globes who moved in 1783 to 188 Strand. By 1791, he had entered into what appeared to be a relatively casual partnership with his brother William Cary (1759-1825). This partnership lasted until approximately 1816, by which time William and John Cary had relocated to 181 Strand before finally settling at 86 St. James in 1820. The following year, he was succeeded by his sons, John (II) and George Cary, who continued from the firm's 181 Strand address until 1851/2 when business was acquired by Henry Gould. The terrestrial globe in the present lot is most often depicted as a pocket globe within a ray-skin-covered, two-part folding case with celestial representations pasted to the inside surfaces.
