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. Condition Report: Globe is generally in original unrestored condition retaining original/old surfaces however has overall age-related faults. The most significant of these is a crack which traverses around approximately 40% of the sphere along the horizon; this crack shows some slight movement and losses. Other areas around the horizon also exhibits concentric rubbing/scuffing where the globe has rubbed against the horizon. There is another historic concentric scratch further up the sphere and some historic opening to some of the joints between the gores. Otherwise notable faults to the sphere are mostly limited to varnish losses, scuffing and other age-related bumps, scuffs and blemishes. The brass ring is in good original condition and the pivots appear sound; the lower carrier (applied to the top of the baluster upright of the stand) has a later insert onto which the ring rests. The Horizon ring is intact but has losses/flaking to the varnish and a flake to the paper at Pisces.The stand is in sound original condition; all but two of the small brackets applied to the underside of the horizon ring (to brace the joint for the quadrant-shaped supports) have been replaced. One castor has been reset and is now a little loose/misaligned. The finish is a little flat but stand appears free from breaks and/or repairs.Please see additional images which supplement this condition report. Condition Report Disclaimer
