A George III terrestrial globe published by W. S. M. Bardin and a celestial globe by Cary's circa 1800

Poor overall condition, the terrestrial globe has a repaired break around its centre with some cracks and fragmentation. On both globes the printed surface is very worn, stained and scratched with many areas being indecipherable. There are many scratches and worn areas around the ecliptic, the stands have some scratches and wear and the compasses are missing their glass and needles. The stetcher on the celestial globe is damaged with a section of the stretcher missing. We advise viewing this lot before bidding.
