George and John Cary Jr. took over the family business from their father, John Cary, in 1821. John Cary had begun the business in 1782 and, its main focus was the production and sale of geographic materials, particularly atlases, sheet maps, and globes. The firm was particularly well known for geological maps, itineraries, and county maps. The sons continued their father’s business until 1850.
