British
Cary's Globes were a series of globes produced by the English globe maker John Cary in the early 19th century. Cary was a highly skilled cartographer and engraver who had previously worked for the famous map and atlas publisher William Faden before setting up his own business.
Cary's Globes were highly accurate and detailed representations of the world, and they were notable for their high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. The globes were made using a range of materials, including paper, plaster, and metal, and were hand-engraved with detailed maps and other geographical features.
Cary's Globes were highly popular during the early 19th century and were sold throughout Europe and America. They were used by students, scholars, and explorers, and were considered important tools for understanding the geography and topography of the world.
Today, Cary's Globes are highly prized by collectors and are considered important examples of the art of globe making. Examples of Cary's work can be found in museum collections around the world, including the British Library in London and the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C.
