This terrestrial globe was produced by one of the leading globe makers of the time. The first generation of the family, who had started the business in 1791 were John Cary and William Cary. By 1824, the firm was run by George and John Cary, sons of John Cary Senior. Together with the firms of Newton and Bardin, globes made by the Carys accounted for the majority of globes produced in England during the early 19th Century (see 'The World in Your Hands', Exhibition Catalogue, London, Christie's, 1994, pp. 64-5).
