Provenance:
The Stephen Edell Collection.
Charles Price (fl.1697-1733) was an accomplished globe-maker, appearing to prefer prestigious collaborations to working alone. Between 1697 and 1715, he made globes together with Jeremiah Seller (the son of John Seller Senior, whom Price was apprenticed to in 1693), John Senex, George Willdey, and Benjamin Scott.
Information on Price's later life and career are rare, and unfortunate in nature. Suffering financial hardship, Price spent Christmas of 1731 in the Fleet Prison and died two years later.
