A fine English 2.75 inch pocket globe Attributed to George Adams junior... A fine English 2.75 inch pocket globe Attributed to George Adams junior after Herman Moll, late 18th century The sphere applied with twelve hand coloured printed gores and two polar calottes with the equinoctial graduated in degrees and hours and the eclyptic graduated in days, the prime meridian labelled Meridian of London and the principal land masses outlined in colour and annotated with major rivers and mountain ranges, the oceans showing the winds with islands labelled and printed with dotted line for Cook's Track 1760, the North Pacific region with oblong printed title cartouche A Correct, GLOBE, with the new, Discoveries, the spherical fishskin covered case lined with twelve hand coloured printed gores and two polar calottes labelled A Correct Globe, with y New Constelations of Dr. Halley & c. with stars expressed in six orders of magnitude and allegorical representations of the constellations finely executed, overall diameter 7.6cm (3ins). George Adams junior is recorded in Clifton, Gloria Directory of British Scientific Instrument Makers 1550-1851 as apprenticed to George Adams senior before working as maker of a full range of instruments including globes from Tycho Brahe's Head, 60 Fleet St., London 1772-95. He was succeeded by his widow, Hannah, before the premises was taken over by his brother, Dudley, in 1796. The current lot can be compared to a similar globe illustrated in Lamb, Tom and Collins, Jeremy (ed's.) THE WORLD IN YOUR HANDS (exhibition catalogue) item 5.16 which is described as attributed to George Adams junior based on the same type of globe being used in an armillary sphere by Adams. The origin of the gores can be traced back to those used on Herman Moll's pocket globe of 1710, however it is known that the plates for Moll's gores were acquired by John Senex after the former's death in 1732, before passing to George Adams senior after Senex died in 1755. It is possible that George Adams had the plates re-engraved to incorporate revisions before publishing. With regards to dating - Cook's Track follows the line of his first voyage which took place 1768-71 hence is incorrectly dated 1760, also the presence of New Caledonia would indicate that the globe was produced after Cook's second voyage which ended in 1784.
