William Bardin is recorded as publishing globes from the 1780's onwards, a number of which were produced together with his contemporary Gabriel Wright (1740-1783). Bardin's son, Thomas Marriott Bardin, joined the firm as an apprentice in 1783, shortly after the death of Gabriel Wright. Bardin operated on Fleet Street until 1795 when the company moved to Salisbury Square. Bardin' son and granddaughter Elizabeth continued to make globes into the 1830's.
