Cary. Strand. Apr. 1. 1791; the celestial with constellations labelled and edged in blue/green over dotted lines, the equinoctial and ecliptic graduated in degrees and the stars and nebulae indicated in varying degrees of magnitude, with a printed oblong label NEW, CELESTIAL GLOBE, Pub'd by J. & W. Cary. Strand. just above VIRGO; each 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 stands comprising four delicate ebonised baluster turned supports united by conforming cross-stretchers over bell-shaped feet.Each 13.3cm (5.25ins) high, 10.8cm (4.25ins) diameter overall. Provenance: Consigned as part of a group of items mostly originally the property of Harry Taft Hayward (1868 - 1930) and Edith Wires (1872 - 1962). Members of the Boston elite, they had two daughters, Mary Elizabeth Hayward (1906-1976) and Harriet Taft Hayward (1907-1968), both painted by the artist John Lavery. They latterly lived at Oakwald, Franklin, Massachusetts; Harry Taft Hayward was cousin of William Howard Taft, 27th president of the US from 1909-1913. Mary Elizabeth married the Chilean born Henry Bernard Arthur de Bruyne and eventually came to live in England at Skyring House, Worthing from circa 1929 until 1939 when the house was commandeered by the British Army. After World War II they moved, Hurstpierpoint, Sussex. Thence by descent. 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. The terrestrial globe in the present lot is most often seen presented as a pocket globe within a ray-skin covered folding two-part case with celestial representations pasted to the inside surfaces. The celestial globe is much rarer as was generally only supplied as either part of a more extensive 'set' (with both globes in shagreen cases) or presented as a pair of miniature table globes as is the case with the current lot. An essentially identical terrestrial globe on stand was sold in these rooms 15th March 2006 (lot 1) for £3,800 hammer.

A VICTORIAN TWELVE-INCH TERRESTRIAL FLOOR-STANDING LIBRARY GLOBEUNLABELLED BUT ALMOST CERTAINLY BY THOMAS MALBY AND SON, LONDON, THIRD QUARTER OF THE 19th CENTURYThe sphere applied with twelve hand-coloured engraved gores and polar calottes extensively annotated with nation states, extensively labelled principal cities, mountain ranges in pictorial relief, major rivers and other topographical features, the oceans labelled and annotated with islands and archipelagos, Antarctica incomplete and labelled THE SUPPOSED ANTARCTIC CONTINENT, with fully graduated Equatorial calibrated in minutes and conforming ecliptic, now with later carefully drawn lines possibly indicating lines of varying intensity of the Earth's magnetic field, with brass hour circles to both poles and pivoted through their axis within a brass meridian circle divided for degrees, set within a hand coloured paper horizon ring with compass points and degrees in both directions, Zodiac, calendar scales and wind directions, between March and April are explanatory notes and text Engraved by Cha's Malby, the stand with four down-curved quadrant supports cradling the globe over an acanthus carved baluster upright issuing three leaf-carved down-curved scroll supports terminating with brass castors, (the sphere with some historic damage and repair).86.5cm (34ins) high; 42.5cm (16.75ins) diameter overall. Thomas Malby and Company are recorded in Gloria, Clifton Directory of British Scientific Instrument Makers 1550-1851 as working 1843-50. First as Thomas Malby alone at 22 Houghton Street, Clare Market, London in 1839, then from 3 Houghton Street, Newcastle Street, Strand 1845-48 and finally at 37 Parker Street where the firm became Thomas Malby and Son in 1851. Thomas Malby is perhaps most remembered for producing an impressive 36 inch diameter terrestrial globe based on Addison's 1825 model. Latterly the firm of Thomas Malby and Son aligned themselves as geographical publisher for The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge (S.D.U.K) and innovated the inclusion of 'magnetic lines of variation' within their terrestrial globes. By 1898 Thomas Malby and Son were trading as 'Globe and Map Sellers to the Admiralty' from 37 Tithe Queens Street Holborn, London. The Engraver's signature to the horizon paper relates to Thomas's brother, Charles Isaac Malby (1816 to post 1868), who worked as one of the principal engravers within the firm. The hand-drawn lines to the present globe would appear to represent variations in the Earth's magnetic field. This may be of some relevance with regards to Thomas Malby and Son's collaboration with The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge and the development of the inclusion on 'magnetic lines of variation' within the annotations of their terrestrial globes.

A rare and well-documented Second War evader’s D.F.M. group of five awarded to Sergeant W. R. Laws, Royal Air Force, who took to his parachute over Belgium after his Halifax was attacked by night fighters returning from Pilsen in April 1943
Distinguished Flying Medal, G.VI.R. (745880 Sgt. W. R. Laws, R.A.F.); 1939-45 Star; Air Crew Europe Star; Defence and War Medals, mounted court-style, good very fine (5) £3,000-£4,000 --- D.F.M. London Gazette 16 July 1943. The original recommendation states:
‘Sergeant Laws was the Wireless Operator of the crew of a Halifax aircraft of No. 102 Squadron which was detailed to bomb the Skoda Works at Pilsen on 16 April 1943.
On the return journey the aircraft was attacked by fighters and set on fire over Belgium and the Captain gave the order to bale out. Sergeant Laws landed in a wood north of Montbliart, about 20 k.m. S.E. of Maubeuge. He was uninjured and, after burying his parachute and mae west in the undergrowth, he decided to walk south and get as far away as he could from the aircraft. He evaded capture and eventually arrived back safely in this country.
For the courage and determination shown by this N.C.O., in effecting his escape, I recommend the immediate award of the D.F.M.’

William Robert Laws, a native of Henley-on-Thames who was born in September 1918, enlisted in the Royal Air Force in November 1939. Having then attended No. 2 Signal School at Yatesbury, and No. 8 Air Gunnery School at Evanton, in addition to conversion and operational training units, he joined No. 102 Squadron, a Halifax unit, at Pocklington, in October 1942.

Initially joining Flying Officer Milnes’ crew, he completed four sorties in November-December, namely raids on Stuttgart, Mannheim and Turin (twice), one of the named trips resulting in serious flak damage.

‘The story of ‘J’ of 102 Squadron was an epic. The aircraft was hit by a burst of heavy flak at 17,000 feet, shortly after crossing the Alps, having been coned by searchlights. The starboard outer engine was put out of action and the aircraft spun down to 13,000 feet. Bombs were jettisoned and the aircraft headed for home. At 5,000 feet near Amiens the aircraft was again coned and hit by flak. Both port engines failed and the aircraft lost height to 2,000 feet. At this point the port inner picked up and the aircraft was able to limp home to Bradwell Bay on two engines. From S.E. of Paris until leaving the French coast the aircraft was followed by enemy fighters which, however, made no attack, probably expecting the Halifax to be forced to land. As ‘J’ was leaving the French coast she was illuminated again and a burst of flak blew out the port outer engine. The crash-landing was made at Bradwell Bay with no hydraulics, the captain expressing the greatest appreciation of the help he was given by that station. The Flight Engineer was injured but the rest of the crew only sustained minor cuts. The aircraft unfortunately swung into an Army hut after landing and casualties were sustained by Army personnel.’ (Official records refers).

A ‘Gardening’ trip and a raid on Dusseldorf having followed in January 1943, Laws participated in strikes on Cologne, Lorient and Nuremburg in February, and Frankfurt, Stuttgart and Essen in April - the latter trip once more proving to be of the hair-raising kind, his Flying Log Book noting: ‘Held in searchlights cone for ten minutes and heavily shelled - hit in many places.’ As it transpired, his very next sortie, against the Skoda Works at Pilsen on the night of 16/17, with Squadron Leader Lashbrook, D.F.M., as his pilot, was to prove his last, Halifax HF. 663 falling to the guns of Major Wilhelm Herget of I/NJG/4. Laws’ experiences on that night, and subsequent evasion, are neatly summarised in Valley of the Shadow of Death: The Bomber Command Campaign, March-July 1943, by J. Alwyn Phillips:

‘Halifax HF. 663 of 102 Squadron, 4 Group, captained by Squadron Leader W. I. Lashbrook, D.F.M., was one of the aircraft shot down by night fighter, which obviously had a field day in the nigh perfect weather conditions, when the bombers could be spotted so easily. Fortunately for this bomber crew the underground movement played an important role in helping shot down aircrew evade capture. It was on the return flight at about 04.00 hours, six hours after they had left their base at Pocklington, that the Halifax was attacked by a fighter over Belgium. The bomber immediately caught fire and the order to bale out was passed along, as the intercomm had failed. Sergeant W. R. Laws the wireless operator was the third out after the navigator, Flying Officer K. J. Bolton and the bomb aimer, Pilot Officer Martin with Flight Sergeant Knight, the flight engineer and the pilot immediately behind. Sergeant Laws in his report did not think that the gunners had a chance to get the bale out message. On his parachute descent he saw his aircraft break in two and fall in flames. He landed uninjured in a wood, and like all airmen buried his ‘chute and Mae West straight away and walked quickly south to get away from the crash site.

He rolled down his trousers to cover his conspicuous flying boots, then using his escape compass, he walked through a village. He saw a signpost identifying it as Montbliart. Here he left the road and walked across country, through some woods for about two hours, before stopping in a field to eat some chocolate and Horlicks tablets from his kit. After it became light he studied his map but he was unable to make out his position at Montbliart and did not know whether he was in France or Belgium. At nightfall on the 17th, he continued walking south and used his water bottle to acquire some water from a brook, making sure to put in the purifying tablets before drinking and taking a benzadrine tablet to stay awake. Walking on he passed through the villages of Seloignes and Villers La Tour before he lay up for a rest.

On the morning of the 18th he removed his badges from uniform before continuing on. Eventually he came to an isolated chateau, where a man who looked as if he might be the game keeper, came up to him and spoke in French. Luckily Sergeant Laws could speak French fairly fluently and explained to the man that he was an English airman and wanted to know where he was. The man stated that he was a Pole and was caretaker of the chateau which was unoccupied. He also said the chateau was in Belgium, near Les Taillettes, about 7 kilometres from the French frontier. The man took him onto the chateau and allowed him to shave with his razor and later gave him an old blue mackintosh. In return Sergeant Laws gave him 500 Francs from his escape pack. The caretaker, however, was quite scared to have the airman about the place and advised him to carry on and keep to the woods and walk south to France.

About midnight on the 18th-19th, he again set out and at daybreak crossed the French frontier north of Watigny. He then sheltered in a bombed out house where he ate some of the bread and cheese he had been given by the Pole and went to sleep. When he awoke he set off again walking along the road to Fligny, which he reached at 14.00 hours and continued on to Auge. It was here that a bad storm broke, with exceptionally heavy rain, so soaking wet he approached an isolated farmhouse and sheltered under its front porch. A girl of about 24 opened the door and spoke to him then invited him into the house to shelter from the storm. As Sergeant Laws replied in French, the girl did not know who he was, but when inside he had explained he was an R.A.F. airman. She and her family became very frightened when they found he had no identity discs to show and his ability to speak French so fluently made them even more suspicious of him, but they did give him some food and allowe...
