Cary's began with the engraving and selling of maps from the early 1780s, having previously been apprenticed to William Palmer, and became a freeman in 1778.The first globes by Cary were advertised in the January 1791 edition of Traveller's Companion, which offered 3 1/2-inch, 9-inch, 12-inch and 21-inch diameter terrestrial and celestial globes. The address of the company at this time was 181, Strand, London, and the company was commonly known as J & W Cary, to recognise the contribution of John's brother William (1759-1825). It is from this address that the present pair of globes were produced. While John and William Cary had a joint enterprise for globes, the brothers operated as separate business entities when producing other maps or scientific instruments. William Cary was primarily an optician and nautical instrument maker, having been apprenticed to Jesse Ramsden whose workshop was also located on the Strand.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

A MAP OF THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE (1778) From 'Histoire Generale des Voyages' - A French edition of Capt James Cook's famous chart, first printed in London in 1777 with Cook's second voyage report. A key piece in Captain Cook's exploration collection! This map; engraved by Benard and printed from 1778 onward, depicts his first and second voyage's tract, together with the voyages of famous Captains such as Tasman, Bougainville, Wallis, Halley, Bouvet and others. Capt Cook 's second voyage, between 1772 and 1775, was commissioned by the British Goverment under advice from the Royal Society to explore the fabled Terra Australis or great Southern land. He proved the Terra Australis incognita to be a myth and predicted that an Antartic land would be found beyond the ice barrier. Even though Capt Cook circumnavigated Antartica, his chart shows no existance of the Continent. Ice was rarely marked on a map as it was assumed it would keep changing its shape. 53cm x 53cm Condition: Good condition, folds as issued, map has been restored
