**Frame hotsell and mat not included**

An engineer at 18, he served in the army of Flanders before devoting himself solely to mathematics and cartography. He became the King's cartographer and took over from Rizzi-Zannoni. He defined the projection that would bear his name and produced maps for the methodical encyclopedia and the history of Father Raynal's travels. His main work will remain " atlas moderne ou collection de cartes de toutes les parties du globe terrestre" (modern atlas or collection of maps of all parts of the terrestrial globe) Paris, 1762.
