Footnote: The celebrated Cary family of cartographers and globe makers produced some of the greatest late Georgian globes. The firm was started in London in the late 18th century by John Cary (circa 1754-1835), an engraver and dealer in maps who often worked in partnership with his brother, William Cary (circa 1760-1825), a scientific instrument maker. John Cary concentrated on geographical excellence rather than on decoration. In circa 1820 the Cary brothers moved their business to 86 St. James’s Street, leaving the premises at 181 Strand to John Cary’s son George (circa 1788-1859) and John Jr. (1791-1852) who traded as G. & J. Cary until, circa 1850.
