Bellerby & Co. Globemakers

The Artisans

One of the joys of our Artisan Series has been peeling back the curtain on a whole host of esoteric industries, and they don’t get much more specialised than Bellerby & Co. Globemakers. As one of the only remaining ateliers in the world that make globes by hand we were thrilled to be granted the opportunity to photograph them at work.
