Description

A Regency twelve inch celestial library table globe John and William Cary, London, circa 1810 The sphere applied with twelve engraved and hand tinted colour gores incorporating trade label CARY'S, NEW CELESTIAL GLOBE, ON WHICH, are carefully laid down upwards of 3,500 stars, Selected from the moft accurate observations, and calculated to the Year 1800, with the extent of each constellation precisely delined, By MR. GILPIN of the ROYAL SOCIETY... with the constellations represented by delicately coloured mythical beasts and figures and appropriately labelled along with the stars with brightness represented in seven grades of MAGNITUDE, with equinoctial graduated in degrees and ecliptic with Zodiacal calendar and also graduated in degrees, pivoted via the poles within brass meridian circle also further divided for degrees, resting in wooden stand with hand coloured paper horizon ring graduated in degrees in two directions, days of the month and houses of the Zodiac with names and symbols and also showing compass directions, raised on four baluster turned supports with conforming turned stretchers to carry the meridian ring at the base, (damages), 42cm (16.5ins) approx. high overall. The celebrated Cary family business of scientific instrument and globe makers was established by John Cary 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 again in 1783 to 188 Strand. By 1791 he had entered into what appeared to be a relatively casual partnership with his brother, William; this partnership lasted until circa 1816 by which time William and John Cary had moved again to 181 Strand before finally settling in 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 the business was acquired by Henry Gould.
