Newton's new & improved terrestrial and celestial globes The diameter of the globes is 2.75 inches (7 cm). The total height, including the stands, is 6.75 inches (15 cm). A beautiful pair of miniature desk globes, with 12 hand-colored engraved gores on plaster spheres, mounted to nineteenth-century calibrated brass meridian rings and carved wooden stands. The Terrestrial and celestial globes are made of carved wood and are in fine condition. The Newton family was among the foremost English globe makers of the early 19th century, producing globes of many sizes under various names. The origins of the firm began in the previous century, in fact, back to Nathaniel Hill, for it was he who taught the art of globe making to Thomas Bateman (fl.1754-1781), who in turn trained John Newton (1759-1844), who was the patriarch of the Newton firm. John began his firm in 1780, publishing a reissue of a Nathaniel Hill pocket globe in partnership with William Palmer. At the beginning of the 19th century, John Newton had located his business at 97 Chancery Lane in London and was quickly joined by his second son, William (1786-1861), under the name J.& W. Newton. For the decade between 1831 and 1841, Miles Berry, a civil engineer, became a member of the firm, known then as Newton, Son & Berry. After 1841, ownership passed to William Newton’s eldest son, William Edward Alfred Vincent (1821-1900), who became associated with the firm, which continued in operation through future generations until the early years of the 20th century.…
