Sobre este artículo
A pair of Cruchley's large, highly detailed library globes, showing the most accurate and up-to-date mid-nineteenth-century terrestrial and celestial data. While the terrestrial globe precisely portrays the earth divided into the mid-19th-century nations and states, the celestial globe shows a more wonderous, imaginative depiction of the heavens. Mythical figures and the signs of the zodiac are depicted among the constellations in a captivating way.George Frederick Cruchley (1796/97-1880) was an English map-maker, publisher, book- and map seller, based in London. He started out as an apprentice with the renowned English cartographer, engraver and publisher Aaron Arrowsmith (1750-1823). After Arrowsmith's death, Cruchley established his own business in London. He particularly made a name for himself by acquiring the stock of the acclaimed firm of John Cary (ca. 1754-1835) and publishing his own maps and globes alongside Cary's. Apart from his globes is Cruchley best known for his detailed plans of London. Three years before his death in 1880, he auctioned off his remaining stock, which was largely acquired by the firm of Gall and Inglis, who continued publishing Cruchley's maps until the early 20th century.Both globes show slight signs of wear, mainly around the poles, on the horizontal ring and some small spots on the celestial globe; most of the gores have been professionally restored, cleaned and revarnished, thus the text and images remain clear. Overall in very good condition.
