| References | Charles Smith & Son was founded in 1799 by Charles Smith "engraver to the Prince of Wales", started by selling maps. Competition with the Cary firm may have stimulated the addition of globes to their line of production. The firm had a shop in The Strand from 1827 to 1852 and then later moved to 63 Charing Cross. |
