Lander and May Ltd
Chris Adams is an artisan master globe maker with over two decades of experience. His company, Lander & May, still uses the techniques used by traditional globe craftsmen hundreds of years ago.
Each globe sphere is handmade from plaster, and printed map 'gores' are applied by hand. Stands are made locally by skilled wood turners, often using hard wood re-purposed from boats, giving already well travelled materials an extended life. All other components, such as metal meridian arms, fittings and housings are sourced from within the UK.
We hold an extensive map archive, compiled in-house, and all our contemporary cartography is regularly kept up to date with border changes and name revisions. Our archive also holds a considerable breadth of historical facsimile map artwork which we use to make authentic looking reproduction globes. Every globe is made to order, by hand, by Chris Adams, who recognises the importance of adhering to the authenticity of the craft, respecting its pace and its legacy. The characteristics of the handmade product, those which show the human touch of the maker, imbue the piece with a tangible charm and palpable narrative that is never present in a mass produced, machine made item. Traditional globe making is officially an endangered profession, appearing on the Heritage Craft Red List.
Chris has made globes for a broad range of clients, including museums, exhibitions, private collectors and film and TV.
