CARY, St James's Street, Jan'y 7th, 1832 to North Pacific, with extensively annotated and fully graduated equatorial and the Pacific ocean with an analemma for the TABLE of EQUATION, the oceans with many explorers' tracks and numerous notes and dates, Antarctica with minimal land shown including SOUTH SHETLAND, Powells Group and Sandwich Land, the continents with nation states faintly colour-outlined, showing cities, towns, rivers, mountains in pictorial relief, pivoted via the polar axis within brass meridian circle divided for degrees and with brass hour circle to North pole, set within engraved paper horizon ring with compass points and degrees in both directions, Zodiac, calendar scales and wind directions, the stand comprising four mahogany baluster turned supports united by a conforming cross-stretcher.53cm (21ins) high, 51.5cm (20.25ins) diameter overall. The celebrated Cary family business of scientific instrument and globe makers was established by John Cary 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 again in 1783 to 188 Strand. By 1791 he had entered into what appeared to be a relatively casual partnership with his brother, William; this partnership lasted until circa 1816 by which time William and John Cary had moved again to 181 Strand before finally settling in 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 the business was acquired by Henry Gould.Condition Report: Globe is generally in relatively original 'country house' condition. The sphere retains old colouring beneath a coat of relatively recently applied varnish. This recently applied coat of varnish is somewhat unevenly executed with a few light runs and sags. There is some historic damage beneath the varnish mainly old flaking to the original varnish and scuffing the worst of which being three vertical touched-in scratches passing through Europe down into Africa a large patch of previous varnish loss to the centre of Africa and a smaller area of similar damage to North America. There is also some concentric rubbing/scratching adjacent to the Tropic of Cancer and the equator (commensurate with something rubbing between the brass meridian ring and the globe itself whilst the sphere is being rotated. The bottom pole has some cracking, movement and slight losses around the pivot and the top has some slight opening to the gores beneath the hour circle. The meridian ring and hour circle are in good original albeit dirty/discoloured condition and the globe rotates comfortably without rubbing. The brass bottom mount (that locates with and hods the meridian ring steady) The stand is in sound original condition with the horizon papers complete and in comparable condition as the globe and the woodwork with relatively minor age-related bumps, scuffs and wear.

AN EARLY VICTORIAN TWELVE-INCH TERRESTRIAL FLOOR-STANDING LIBRARY GLOBEPUBLISHED BY S.S. EDKINS SUCCESSORS TO T.W. BARDIN, SOLD BY J. SOUTER, LONDON, CIRCA 1837The sphere applied with two sets of twelve hand-coloured engraved gores and polar calottes incorporating circular panel inscribed THE, NEW TWELVE-INCH, BRITISH, Terrestrial Globe, REPRESENTING THE, ACCURATE POSITION OF THE PRINCIPAL, KNOWN PLACES OF THE EARTH., FROM THE DISCOVERIES OF, CAPTAIN COOK, AND SUBSEQUENT CIRCUMNAVIGATORS, TO THE PRESENT PERIOD, 1837 over applied curved label J. Souter, School Library, 151 Fleet St. London to North Pacific, with extensively annotated and fully graduated equatorial and the Pacific ocean with THE ANALEMMA for the equation of time, the oceans with many explorers' tracks and numerous notes and dates, Antarctica with no land shown except for Enderby's Land dated 1833, the continents with nation states faintly colour-outlined, showing cities, towns, rivers, mountains in pictorial relief, pivoted via the polar axis within brass meridian circle divided for degrees and with brass hour circle to North pole, set within hand coloured engraved paper horizon ring with compass points and degrees in both directions, Zodiac, calendar scales and wind directions, in a stand with four down-curved quadrant supports cradling the globe over vase-turned upright and three outswept supports united by glazed compass stretcher inset with paper printed with elaborate thirty-two point rose within outer scale divided for degrees, terminating with ball feet.88cm (30.5ins) high, 43cm (17ins) diameter overall. The present globe is a known edition by S.S. Edkins (successors to T.W. Bardin). The lower margin of the roundel is applied with Souter's address over the original printed text 'Manufactured by S.S. Edkins Son in Law and Successor to the late T. M. Bardin Salisbury Square London'. William Bardin (1783-98) was a freeman of the Leatherseller's Company who starting making globes in around 1780. His first globes were 9 and 12 inch diameter published in collaboration with Gabriel Wright on 1st January 1782. Wright was a mathematical instrument maker who had previously worked for Benjamin Martin who, in turn, had acquired the plates of Senex's celebrated globes from James Ferguson. William's son, Thomas Marriott, is recorded in Clifton, Gloria Directory of Scientific Instrument Makers 1550-1851 as a globe maker apprenticed to his father, in 1783 with whom he went into partnership in 1790. Bardin and Son initially worked from 4 Hind Court, Fleet Street, London before moving to 16 Salisbury Square in 1975. William Bardin died in 1795 leaving the business in the hands of Thomas Marriott. The firm was taken-on by Thomas's daughter, Elizabeth Marriott, after his death in 1820 and then by her husband, S.S. Edkins. on their marriage in 1832. They took a son into partnership in 1848 and the business continued until shortly after S.S. Edkins's death in 1853. J. Souter appears not to be recorded in the usual sources however online sources suggest that they were specialist publishers and retailers of books and maps for educational purposes and were established before 1820.Condition Report: The glove is generally in good original condition with no visible cracks or noticeable losses/infilling to the gores. The gores have noticeable opening between the sections with some noticeable related staining to the edges. Otherwise notable faults are essentially limited to some historic mottling, greying/blooming to the upper surfaces. The current varnish appears relatively recently applied and is quite 'shiny'. Although the standi is contemporary to the globe we cannot offer any assurances that it is original to the globe. The meridian papers are quite light in colour but in sound condition with minor wear and some visible shrinkage to the ring beneath visible through the papers. There is no brass mount for the meridian ring (just a raised slot in the top of the columns) and one foot has a small spliced repair to the tip. The compass appears in good condition although the paper has probably been 'washed'.Please note additional images are available which form an integral part of the condition report.

CARY, LONDON, CIRCA 1816The sphere applied with two sets of twelve hand-coloured engraved split half-gores incorporating rectangular panel inscribed CARY'S, NEW CELESTIAL GLOBE, ON WHICH, are correctly laid down upwards of 3500 stars, Selected from the most accurate observations, and calculated for the Year 1800., With the extent of each Constellation precisely defined, By MR.

The celebrated Cary family business of scientific instrument and globe makers was established by John Cary 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 again in 1783 to 188 Strand. By 1791 he had entered into what appeared to be a relatively casual partnership with his brother, William; this partnership lasted until circa 1816 by which time William and John Cary had moved again to 181 Strand before finally settling in 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 the business was acquired by Henry Gould.Condition Report: Globe is generally in fine condition having been carefully and skilfully conserved fairly recently (within the last 25 years or so). There is evidence of minor filling and consolidation of light cracking around the bottom pivot and overall light mottling to the surface. The present surface finish is very even with only a few slight historic blemishes evident beneath the varnish; the hand colouring is faded but still eminently visible. The meridian ring, hour circle and other brass fittings are in fine condition. The meridian papers have also been conserved to a high standard hence condition is commensurate with the globe. The stand has a couple of loose joints (glue has dried-out) otherwise is in sound original condition with some age-related bumps and scuffs evident. Condition Report Disclaimer

Latterly John Addison and Company are recorded working from 9 Skinner Street (Snow Hill) 1800-21, 116 Regent Street 1822-25 and finally 275 Strand 1829-30. Addison is known to have produced terrestrial and celestial globes in many sizes from three inch through to his magnificent thirty-six inch 'Terraqueous Globe'.Condition Report: The globe generally presents as being in good original unrestored condition with nice colouring and clear well-defined detail. There are some areas of stable but noticeable cracking mainly to the lower hemisphere (either side of Australia and to the left of the Analemma) there are no significant losses or unsightly problems with the gores/surface within the areas of cracking hence they are only really noticeable on closer examination. Faults to the rest of the sphere are otherwise limited to minor historic bumps, scuffs and rubbing. The stand is in good original condion albeit a little uneven in colour. The horizon papers are very good (slight mottled age browning only) the compass frame may be an addition and the needle is missing.Please note additional images are available which form an integral part of the condition report.

A FRENCH LOUIS PHILIPPE EIGHT-AND-A-HALF INCH TERRESTRIAL LIBRARY TABLE GLOBEFELIX DELAMARCHE, PARIS, CIRCA 1838The sphere applied with two sets of twelve hand-coloured engraved gores and polar calottes incorporating printed text GLOBE, ADOPTE, PAR LE CONSEIL ROYAL DE L'INSTRUCTION PUBLIQUE, PAR, DELAMARCHE, Jugenieuo Geographe, Rue du Jardinet 12, PARIS, 1838 to central Pacific, with fully graduated equatorial, ecliptic, and Meridian passing through Paris, the oceans with islands labelled and Antarctica with no land shown except a fragment labelled Terre de Enderby, the continents with nation states faintly colour-outlined, showing cities, towns, rivers, mountains in pictorial relief, pivoted via the polar axis within paper-covered Meridian ring variously annotated and graduated in degrees and applied with conforming hour chapter ring to the North Pole, set within hand coloured engraved paper horizon ring with compass points and degrees, pictorial representations of the Zodiac and calendar scales, the stand with four down-curved quadrant supports further annotated with latitudes and longitudes de Paris for various cities cradling the globe, over baluster-turned upright and concentric-turned disc-shaped foot.46cm (18ins) high, 30.5cm (12ins) diameter overall. The Delamarche dynasty of Parisian globe makers is recorded in Lamb, Tom and Collins, Jeremy (editors) THE WORLD IN YOUR HANDS, An Exhibition of Globes and Planeteria (held at Christies King Street, London and Museum Boerhave, Leiden 1994-95) as founded by Charles Francois Delamarche (1740-1817) during the latter part of the 18th century. Charles Delamarche first acquired the remaining part of Robert Vaugondy's workshop, republishing their atlases and globes before taking over Jean Fortin's business in 1795. Latterly Delamarche also purchased the stock of Jean Lattree (publisher of the Lalande and Bonne Globes); through these acquisitions Delamarche essentially monopolised the Parisian globe making trade. The business passed to Charles Delamarche's son, Felix, in 1817 who continued production to around 1848.Condition Report: Globe presents as being in good original condition with nice mellow colour. Although it appears essentially untouched the globe has received some light sensitively executed restoration to address slight cracks to East Africa and the Atlantic. There is also some slight filling and restoration to North America/Canada and China. Faults to the sphere are otherwise limited to very light surface rubbing. The Meridian, horizon and other areas of printed paper are in good condition with faults limited to a few very light bumps/scuffs; the rear of the meridian ring (unprinted) has some overpainting to address an area where a section of thin card lining has been lost. The hour ring appears to be a restoration/replacement; the stand has been re-polished over historic bumps, scuffs and scratches.Please note additional images are available which form an integral part of the condition report.
