J. ADDISON|POCKET GLOBE

Terrestrial Pocket Globe. A New Terrestrial Globe: from the best Authorities, by J. Addison & Co

London, No. 116 Regent Str. 1825. A superb small miniature terrestrial globe produced by John Addison & Co. at their premises in Regent Street in 1816. The globe is beautifully housed and enclosed within its original black fish skin case, complete with original hook, clasp, and hinge. The interior of the fish skin case is a striking scarlet colour. The case will close. The globe has its original metal pinions. This globe is in good condition. It has a lovely ‘aged’ feel and patina that can only be achieved by time. The globe is seen in original hand colour, with greens, reds, and off-white. There is cracking to the original lacquered gores, a few minor marks and abrasions - entirely normal and consistent with a globe of this age. Some gores have suffered a slight loss, some loss and discolouration to the gores culminating at the South Pole. The fish skin case is in good condition, and has the normal crazed cracking in its interior; at the extremities of the case have the usual signs of general rubbing and wear. Historically, globes are among the most ancient scientific instruments known to man. They can be dated back over two millennia and are still manufactured to this day. The earliest tradition of globe making is mainly concerned with celestial globes – man has always been fascinated and drawn to the heavens above Celestial globes have always enjoyed a precedent of terrestrial globes. Doubts about the feasibility of a terrestrial globe were firmly expressed by the Greek geographer Strabo, who wrote that such a globe would only make sense if its diameter were approximately 10 feet, presumably because only then could it furnish sufficient geographical detail! The great second-century Egyptian mathematician, astronomer, astrologer, and geographer, Claudius Ptolemy, also considered the large size of a globe to be somewhat of an obstacle and noted a further shortcoming of a terrestrial globe – that one could not view the whole world on it in a single glance. As a result, terrestrial globes were not as popular until much later. The eighteenth and nineteenth centuries are recognized as the high points of English globe making, and this globe illustrates this fact admirably. Many English globes were exported to the continent and throughout the world, many finding their way into famous scientific institutions, libraries, and the stately homes of gentlemen and aristocrats. T he real beauty of globes is that they can be considered to be “all things to all men”; to some they are useful and practical educational tools, (3D maps perhaps); to some others as beautiful and useful scientific instruments; and to more, they may be seen purely as decorative, beautiful pieces of furniture; to be envied and enjoyed, but more importantly, and above all, to be admired by all. John Addison is recorded in Clifton (Gloria Directory of British Scientific Instrument Makers 1550-1851) as a globe maker working from Regent Street, 50 London Street (Fitzroy Square), and 7 Hampstead Road, London, 1800 - 1819. He was granted Royal appointment in 1820 and was trading as Addison and Co. after around 1815. Later John Addison and Company are recorded as working from 9 Skinner Street (Snow Hill) 1800-21, 116 Regent Street 1822-25 and finally 275 Strand 1829-30. Addison is known to have produced terrestrial and celestial globes in many sizes from three inches through to his magnificent thirty-six inch 'Terraqueous Globe'..

CHAMBON, G.D.|WALLMAP

Wall map of the world in two hemispheres printed on two sheets,

Paris, Longchamps et Janvier, 1754. Wall map of the world in two hemispheres printed on two sheets, depicting the Eastern and Western hemispheres supported by two male figures, decorated at the bottom right and left with two celestial hemispheres (boreal and southern) and at the bottom in the middle with an armillary sphere, in addition. Size 115 x 145 cm. The copper engraving was made by Gobert-Denis Chambon after the work of Guillaume De L’Isle, published in 1754 by Jean Janvier and S.G. Longschamps. This map is most notable for its depiction of the Sea of Japan labeled Mer de Corée and of Mer de L'Ouest or Sea of the West - a great sea, easily the size of the Mediterranean, to flow from the then-known Strait of Juan de Fuca. Australia and New Zealand are depicted in typical post-Tasman form, however, unlike other French cartographers at the time who tended to join New Guinea to Tasmania in a single and highly creative, imaginary coastline, Janvier leaves those undiscovered coastlines blank. Early Dutch discoveries are noted in Australia and New Zealand, as are other recent discoveries in the world. The tracks of Magellan, Vasco da Gama, and Francis Drake are shown. According to Don McGuirk, this map shows an early copy of a Buache type 1 Mer de l'Ouest. Four states of this map were found. - State 1: Dated 1751. - State 2: Dated 1754. Under the title, engraved by Chambon. Lower left, A PARIS, chés les Sieurs Longchamps et Janvier, Geographes, rue St Jacques a l'Enseigne de la Place des Victoires. This state and later states is found surrounded by borders with biblical vignettes. - State 3: Dated 1788. Now chez Mondhare and Jean. - State 4: Dated An 8 (1799-1800). Now Paris Chez Jean rue Jean de Beauvois. Reference: McGuirk, The Last Great Cartographic Myth - Mer de l'Ouest, 30. Later colored. Some parts are contemporarily underlaid with paper, for protective reasons. Repair of a split on the crossing of folds. Some paper discoloration. Some staining and folds.

COVENS, JOH. & MORTIER, CORN.|WALLMAP

Sedes Belli of De Stoel des Oorlogs in den Landen. Van Braband, Gelderlandt, Kleef en Luykerland &.

Amsterdam, Johannes Covens & Cornelis Mortier, 1740. The first wall map of the Seven Provinces of 1651, re-issued as 'Stoel des Oorlogs' by Covens & Mortier. Size 136,5 x 172 cm. The first issue of the present wall-map is known to be included in the Klencke Atlas in the British Library; the second edition, by son Dancker Danckerts, is present in the other two giant atlases: the Mecklenburg Atlas in Rostock and the Atlas des Grossen Kurfürsten in Berlin. After Nicolaas Visscher published a third state of this decorative piece it was the firm of Covens & Mortier who sold this fourth and final state of the map. Presumably commemorating the 1648 treaty and the Republic's independence, this map might be considered to be a peace-counterpart of the monumental 21-sheet world map that was published by Joan Blaeu in 1648. This historical context, also unveiled by the many decorative and symbolical references, hardly applied to the Covens & Mortier era. However, the new 'Stoel des Oorlogs' title and some minor changes were a poor attempt to bring it more or less up-to-date and fit it into the popular 'Théâtre de la guerre' category. This map, like those in the giant atlases, is a good example of the few surviving cartographic treasures..

J.S. COX|POCKET GLOBE

A fine terrestrial pocketglobe in its stand.

London, J.S. Cox, 1838. Diameter globe: 3 inch / 7.6 cm. - In its stand: 6.3 inches / 16 cm. This delightful pocket (or miniature) globe has a delightful aged patina that is normal and entirely consistent with a globe of this age. The globe is in very good overall condition, there are a few minor flaws and blemishes but nothing major or serious. There are some slight discolorations to some extremities of some gores where they intersect or where the gores do not fit perfectly. There is some minor loss to gores to the southern coast of Australia (mostly to the southern ocean), and similar to some regions leading to the Arctic Circle. The lovely dark mahogany stands and feet are in excellent condition, as is the graduated half brass meridian circle. Antique globes were made from a variety of materials. A laminated linen ball is divided into two halves to form the Erdapfel. The globe is reinforced with wood and overlaid with a map painted in sections. The map is drawn on paper, then pasted on a layer of parchment around the globe to give a 3D effect. A globe typically consists of 12 gores. 3” English miniature pocket globe, mounted on a mahogany stand with turned mahogany columns and trifolium bases with balled feet. It features metal pinions, and the globe itself is set in a graduated half-brass meridian circle. This attractive terrestrial globe was made when English globes were among the very finest in Europe, and in the world. Information was pouring in from all parts of the British Empire, and the British nations were eager to view all the latest explorations and discoveries first hand. Maps and globes were an effective and excellent way of fulfilling this desire and need. This globe features faint original outline colouring that usually delineated countries, or any significant global borders or major boundaries. Most of the geography displayed would be recognizable to today’s student of the subject, although some antiquated geographical terminology is still used. For instance; Canada is still categorised as ‘British Territories’; Texas was then a fledgling republic under Sam Houston; California was still ruled by Mexico until it became a state in 1850; Australia was also called New Holland, and the entire eastern coast of the continent is labelled New South Wales; Tasmania was still called Van Diemen's Land; Parts of Central Asia were known as the Chinese Empire; while portions of western Russia were labelled as Tartary; India was Hindostan; Thailand as Siam; Myanmar was known as Burmah. The globe title is pasted with a red border in the North Pacific Ocean. The globe is so full of place names - both coastal and internal that at first glance, it all looks too much to take in. In addition, there are lakes, islands, rivers, and mountains. Running along the coastlines of western Europe, western Africa, and in the Atlantic ocean, you will view the tracks ‘John Gore 1780. John Gore was born in the then British Colony of Virginia in 1729 or 1730, died in 1790, and circumnavigated the globe four times. Gore’s experience in the Pacific and knowledge of Tahiti led to him being called up to join Cook’s 1768 Endeavour voyage to record the Transit of Venus. In 1776, Gore once again answered the call from Cook and the Admiralty and joined the HMS Resolution as First Lieutenant for Cook's third voyage. Following Cook's death in Hawaii, Charles Clerke, captain of Resolution's sister ship, HMS Discovery, took command. Gore then assumed command of Discovery in Clerke's place. When Clerke himself died shortly after, Gore took responsibility for the entire expedition and brought the ships home to England in October 1780. This is a wonderful opportunity to acquire an inexpensive, beautifully made globe that is fast approaching 200 years old. Globes of yesteryear are a fascinating document of science and technology, produced by highly specialised craftsmen, scholars, and gifted amateurs. Historically, globes are among the most ancient scientific instruments known to man. They can be dated back over two millennia and are still manufactured to this day. The earliest tradition of globe making is mainly concerned with celestial globes –man has always been fascinated and drawn to the heavens above. Celestial globes have always enjoyed a precedent of terrestrial globes. Doubts about the feasibility of a terrestrial globe were firmly expressed by the Greek geographer Strabo, who wrote that such a globe would only make sense if its diameter were approximately 10 feet, presumably because only then could it furnish sufficient geographical detail!

CRUCHLEY, GEORGE FREDERICK|GLOBE

Cruchley's new terrestrial globe from the most recent and best authorities, exhibiting the discoveries in equatorial Africa, North Pole, and the new settlements and divisions in Australia, New Zealand, California, Texas &c.WITH: Cruchleys new celestial globe on which is accurately laid down the whole of the stars and nebule contained in the astronomical catalogue of the Reverend Mr. Wollaston F.R.S. Also from the authorities Flamstead, De la Caille, Hevellus, Bradley, Herschel, Maskelyne, &c. and the limits of each constellation determined by a boundary line. London, published by G.F. Cruchley, map-seller & globe maker, 81 Fleet street.

London, G.F. Cruchley, ca. 1850. A beautiful pair of Library Globes. H. 125 cm. (49 inches), Diam. 53 cm. (21 inches) The two spheres are in a perfect state of freshness and are perfectly legible. There have been some professional repairs to some damaged gores. The Terrestrial globe is in good conserved and legible condition, it has areas of rubbing, retouching, and slight discoloration. The Celestial globe is also in good conserved and legible condition with areas of rubbing, retouching, and slight discoloration. The gores themselves have been cleaned and revarnished. The splendid mahogany legs and molded feet are in first-class condition. Each globe consists of 12 hand-coloured copper engraved gores over a paper-maché hollow core, made up of two hemispheres joined at the equator and covered with a layer of plaster. There are paper horizon rings, made up of a series of concentric circles, displaying the months of the year, the signs of the zodiac, and wind directions. THE TERRESTRIAL GLOBE: The globe provides much detailed information, and was accurate up to the date of production, which in this case is the mid-19th century. It shows the latest discoveries and developments that have taken place. It displays names and territories that were once familiar to the people of the age, 150 years into the future! In Asia for example, there are places like ‘Little Bucharia’, ‘Little and Greater Tartary’, and ‘Russia in Asia.’ Undoubtedly, the continent has changed more than any other in Africa. So many African countries that we know and recognize now, had different, perhaps more ‘Colonial’ names more than a century and a half ago. There was ‘Nubia’ (Sudan/Egypt), ‘Abyssinia’ (Ethiopia), ‘Cape Colony’ (South Africa), and ‘Dahomey’ (Benin) to name a few. Australia was a little over 50 years away from its union via the ‘Federation’ in 1901. This brought about the Commonwealth of Australia. However, in 1850 there were six separate British self-serving colonies, ruled directly from England. In North America, both Los Angeles and San Francisco are incorporated as cities into California - as it becomes the 31st U.S. state. Much of the mid-western and western USA was known as ‘The Western Territory’ & ‘The Missouri Territory’, Florida was still referred to as ‘East & West Florida’. Canada was split into ‘Canada East’ & ‘Canada West.’ Canada East was primarily (for historical reasons) French-speaking, and Canada West was primarily English-speaking. Much of Western Canada remained unexplored and undeveloped. In Europe, there was still the ‘Russian Empire’, the ‘Ottoman Empire’, the ‘Austro-Hungarian Empire’, and the German-Prussian Empire.’ THE CELESTIAL GLOBE: The Celestial Globe displays the stars, constellations, clusters, and nebulae in a beautiful and well-thought-out manner. Mythical figures and signs of the zodiac are seen. The equinoctial and solstitial colures are graduated in degrees. Although the colour is somewhat muted, it takes nothing away from the overall beauty and the undoubted aesthetic qualities of the globe. Georges Frederick CRUCHLEY (active 1797-1880) was a London-based book and map seller, active in the mid-19th century. He worked with the Cary firm, and in 1850 he appended his name to the address 81 Fleet Street in London. This address is covered over the globe, as is often the case with the reseller's corporate name. Cruchley began his cartographic career as an apprentice in the venerable film Aaron Arrowsmith. Many of Cruchley's early maps have the words From Arrowsmith on the imprint. In 1844 Cruchley acquired the massive stock of the important early 19th century firm, John Cary. Cruchley published his maps as well as reissues of Cary's stock until the 1870s. He is best known for his detailed plans for London, which in recent years have become increasingly rare and desirable. Cruchley was based in London at 38 Ludgate Street until 1834 when he moved his office to 81 Fleet Street. Shortly before he died in 1880, Cruchley auctioned off (Hodgson's Auctions, January 16, 1877) all of his stock. Many of his map plates were thus acquired by Gall and Inglis who continued the Cruchley tradition until the early 20th century. Cruchley's son, also George Frederick (1837-1882), continued to work as a book and map seller until his death..

The Nuremberg mathematician, physicist, and astronomer Johann Gabriel Doppelmayr (1677 – 1750), one of the most renowned natural scientists of his time, is the creator behind this pair of globes. No natural science collection of universal pretensions, such as a cabinet of curiosities or a magnificent baroque princely library, could be without such a pair of terrestrial and celestial globes. Towards the end of his studies at the University of Halle from 1700 to 1702, Doppelmayr undertook a study trip to England and the Netherlands, where he deepened his astronomy and lens-grinding knowledge. He achieved great international fame through his mathematical and astronomical writings and through the terrestrial and celestial globes, which he published in collaboration with the engraver Johann Georg Puschner (1680 – 1749) between 1718 and 1736. His scientific and publishing achievements were honored by memberships in the Royal Society in London and the Academies of Berlin and St. Petersburg. Condition: Original varnish on the two globes. Cleaned these, though. Retouched the top round axle of the celestial globe and refilled the place where the axles are in the globe. The original horizon rings from the seats have been cleaned and colored in a few places. This pair of globes is in fine condition..

José Joaquín de Ferrer y Cafranga (1763-1818) was a Spanish Basque cartographer and astronomer and was one of the last great figures of the Ilustración Borbonica, or the Spanish Enlightenment. He was born into an affluent and well-connected family in Pasajes de San Pedro, in the Basque Country. He was the older brother of the politician Joaquín María de Ferrer y Cafranga (1777-1861), who served as Prime Minister of Spain and Mayor of Madrid. While the Portulano was in production in Madrid, Ferrer dedicated himself full-time to the pursuit of academic projects. He became a fellow of the Real Academia de la Historia and the Real Sociedad Vascongada (Royal Basque Society). Condition: some light browning on some pages. Crease in first two leaves. Else a fine copy in its original binding..

Amsterdam, Gerard & Leonard Valk, 1715. A magnificent and rare, early 18th century, 46 cm. (18 inches.) celestial table globe produced by Gerard and Leonard Valk. First state. Made of a set of beautiful original hand-colored, copper engraved gores. With a wooden horizon ring; a highly unusual two-pointer brass hour ring (a small, thin metal circle on the top of a globe, divided into 24 segments and imprinted or engraved with the hours of the day and night. By turning it, one can calculate the time difference between various locations on the globe); a graduated brass meridian ring, and four stunning fluted table legs complete with circular, turned ebony feet; resting on sturdy cross-stretchers; an ebony central stand; a base consisting of beautiful circular rings of segmented (wood), inset with alternate concentric circles of an ornate and pleasing floral design. Height 71cm. (28 inch.); TITLE (translated): Uranographia, showing a most accurate depiction of the constellations and the conspicuous stars in the individual constellations, which is adapted from the observations of the matchless astronomer Johannes Hevelius for the end of the year 1700. Moreover, by a new method invented by Lotharius Zumbach, Doctor of Medicine and a famous mathematician, the horizon at the meridian of Amsterdam is added, showing accurately for more than 200 years the syzygies of the moon, as well as the common years and the bissextiles. By the labor and enthusiasm of Gerard and Leonard Valk from Amsterdam, in 1715. With privilege.

The equator and ecliptic are graduated. The stars/constellations are represented as figures, and their names are in Latin. There is a legend that is crowned by the sun. An attractive “Sextans Uraniae” is situated just below “Leo.” Established at the end of the previous century by Gerard Valk, and assisted by his son Leonard, the firm became the only publisher of globes in the Netherlands in the 18th century. In Amsterdam, Gerard began his publishing firm producing maps and atlases in co-operation with Petrus Schenk about 1680. It was about 30 years later that he started to publish globes with his son. After the death of Leonard, the firm continued under the stewardship of his widow, Maria Schenk, towards the end of the 18th century, the globe factory came into the possession of Cornelis Covens. The globe is in fine condition, cleaned and revarnished, the gold embossing has been raised in certain places. The coloring is fine and original. The celestial figures are finely engraved and rendered in truly glorious and eye-catching detail, including gold embossing to the stars, the constellations, and the decorative sextant.
