W. & A.K. Johnston Was Among the Most Important Figures in The Production of Globes in The Late 19th Century and Early 20th Century. Although A British Manufacturer, They Were Highly Influential in Producing Globes to Be Sold in America Under the Johnston Name, Or Under the Name of American Globe Makers and School Supply Houses.
William (1802-1888) And Alexander Keith (1804-1871) Johnston Began as Apprentices to The Scottish Globe Maker and Publisher James Kirkwood (Fl. 1774-1824). After A Fire at The Kirkwood's Edinburgh Workshop, They Set Up Their Own Workshop. Their Largest Globe Was A 30-Inch Diameter Physical Terrestrial Globe Which Won several Medals at The Great Exhibition. They Received a Royal Appointment, Hence the Cartouche of Their 18-Inch Globes Is Surmounted by The Royal Coat of Arms.
W. & A.K. Johnston's Business Was Continued Well into The Early 20th Century with Strategic Business Relationships with Most of The Major American Chicago Globe Makers, Including A.H. Andrews, Rand McNally, Weber Costello, And A.J. Nystrom. These American Globe Makers and School Supply Houses Often Sold Johnston Globes with An Over-Label Pasted Over the Johnston Label. In That Case, The Royal Coat of Arms That Surmounted the Round Cartouche Often Still Showed. Johnston's Globes Were Very Popular for School Use in The United States and Were Also Exported to America for Home Libraries.
