The firm of Cary was established by John Cary ( c.1754-1835), a noted map-seller and engraver , and his brother William (c.1760-1825), an instrument maker. The firm published their first globes in 1791 and by the end of the eighteenth century had already established themselves as one of London`s most eminent globe manufacturers. In about 1820 the Cary brothers moved their business to 86 St James`s Street, leaving their premises at 181 Strand to John Cary`s two sons George ( c.1788-1859) and John jr. ( 1791-1852) who traded as G & J Cary until about 1850 and continued to produce globes of the highest standards. Examples of the company`s work are illustrated in Elly Dekker and Peter van der Krogt, Globes from the Western World, 1993, pls. 33, 37, and 38.
