The celebrated Cary family business of scientific instrument and globe makers was established by John Cary (1755-1835) 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 in 1783 to 188 Strand. By 1791, he had entered into what appeared to be a relatively casual partnership with his brother William Cary (1759-1825). This partnership lasted until approximately 1816, by which time William and John Cary had relocated to 181 Strand before finally settling at 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 business was acquired by Henry Gould. The terrestrial globe in the present lot is most often depicted as a pocket globe within a ray-skin-covered, two-part folding case with celestial representations pasted to the inside surfaces.
