A remarkable pair of George III period terrestrial and celestial globes by John and William Cary of London, each measuring 15 inches in diameter. These globes are among the most scarce of the Cary firm’s creations due to their size. It is interesting to note that the surface area of a 15-inch globe is 125% larger area than that of a more common 12-inch globe.
