The Stephen Edell Collection.
John Newton (1759-1844) founded his family firm in the 1780s, which flourished into the 19th century with support from various family members. The workshop primarily made globes before expanding to include mechanical planetaria. Newton globes were advertised in an unusually broad range of sizes - a total of ten different variations from 1 inch to 25 inches in diameter.
