Dated March 1st, 1816, With Corrections and Additions to 1818. 2nd edition, 1st edition was either 1816 or 1817 depending on the authority. Uses Arrowsmith for the American Northwest. Cary issued globes in 3.5", 9", 12" and 21" sizes starting in 1792 (Fordham) and added the 18" in 1816/17. During this period he issued the globes with his brother William, later with his brother George. The globe is beautifully drawn with precision in a style similar to Cary's maps, lacking any ornamentation. The stand is a four leg table type, with horizon ring. An 18-inch globe, measuring 25-inches from base to tip. |

| Note |
A scarce map that is not listed in Fordham's Cary bibliography, nor in the British Museum list - the BM lists shows a later map (1827) with a different title. This is a finely detailed map in the best Cary style. The cartography follows closely his 18" globe of 1818 (see our copy) and may have been inspired by it - the scale is the same at the equator. The tracks of the various navigations of the period are shown with great precision. An interesting feature is the repetition of western Europe and Africa on both sides of the map. Full color. Map is dissected into 30 sections and folds into a dark olive green marbled board slip case 29x21 with label reading "World. Sold By C. Smith. Mapseller, 172 Strand, London." Relief shown pictorially. |
