Provenance: Property of a descendant of John Davies. John Davies was born in Tetbury 1839. He was apprenticed to a watchmaker in London; however his interest in scientific instruments was such that he designed and made several one-off examples for his own use, the current and previous lots being two of them. Photography was another interest which resulted in him setting up in business, in partnership with his brother Martin, as photographers, printers, booksellers and stationers at 14 High Street, Weston-super-Mare in 1873. ‘Davies Brothers’ continued to trade after John’s death in 1919 until the premises was destroyed in an air raid in 1942. The current lot incorporates a 1.5 inch terrestrial globe by Newton & Sons dated to circa 1830. An identical globe from the same source is offered as the following lot. The brass ring is annotated with the actual distances of the earth from the sun every two months to allow the observer to appreciate the fact that the motion of the earth follows an elliptic rather than an exact circular orbit. The two moons orbiting Mars (Phobos and Deimos) were not officially discovered until 1877 by the American astronomer Asaph Hall Sn’r. This fact suggests that the bodies around the sphere representing Mars on the current lot must have been incorporated during later design stages.
