Lot Essay

George Frederick Cruchley took over part of the successful Cary family globe-making business in 1850. The company had been founded in the late 18th century by John Cary, often working with his brother William, an instrument-maker, and the globe work was continued by John's sons George and John Jnr until about 1850. Cary globes, along with ones made by the Newton family, were the most sought after and popular of those produced in Europe during the first half of the 19th century, and Cruchley continued their fine tradition until about 1876.
