Description:
A pair of 19th century Maley's table top globes, both 12 inch diameter, the terrestrial globe dated 1853 and the celestial globe dated 1860, both labeled and surmounted by brass polar hour circle, and within calibrated full brass meridian, the horizon band with engraved paper calendar and zodiac. Raised on turned mahogany tripod stands, slight variations, with reeded legs united by stretchers. Note: Malby & Son was one of the most prominent British globe makers of the mid 19th century. The cartography on the globes was based on the work of the map publisher 'The Society of the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge'. The Malby firm is perhaps best known for producing in 1849 a 92 cm (about 3 feet) diameter terrestrial globe for public exhibition, height 46 cm.
