John Cary Furniture

British, 1755-1835

John Cary was an English cartographer. He was born in February of 1755 and died in August of 1835. His career started with his apprenticeship in London, and he opened up his own shop in the Strand in 1783. His atlas New and Correct English Atlas became the standard reference work in England. He was commissioned in 1794 by the Postmaster General to survey England's roads. Out of this commission, he published Cary's New Itinerary in 1798. He later produced Ordnance Survey maps before 1805. His business was eventually taken over by G.F. Cruchley.
