About the Item
The firm of Cary was established in the late 18th century by John Cary (c.1754-1835), a noted map seller, and his brother William (c.1759-1825), an optician and nautical instrument maker. John gained his apprenticeship from William Palmer, becoming a freeman in 1778. Following this he entered into the engraving and map selling trade from about 1782, based at Johnson's Court, Fleet Street, London, subsequently moving to premises at the corner of Arundel Street, Strand. The firm published their first globes in January 1791, advertising them in the Travellers Companion where it was stated that they made terrestrial and celestial globes in 3, 9, 12 and 21 in. diameter. sizes `from entire new Plates'. This distinguished their maps from the those printed by rival manufacturers from old ammended copper plates. Having moved to 181 Strand in 1791, J
W Cary had established themselves as one of London's foremost globe manufacturers along with two other notable family firms Newton and Bardin. John Cary's two sons John (c.1788-1859) and George (1791-1852), trading from the same address, continued to produce globes of the highest standard, until the mid-19th century, having introduced an 18in. diameter globe to their range in 1820. After the death of John Cary senior in 1835, the business was taken over by Henry Gould, although the company retained the name of Cary until 1890. In 1892, the Post Office directory recorded Cary
Co. at 7 Pall Mall, and subsequently Cary, Porter
Co. at the same premises from 1894-1904. Examples of the company's work are illustrated in Elly Dekker and Peter van der Krogt, Globes from the Western World, 1993, pls.33, 37 and 38.
