Cartographer:
Jean (Robert) Janvier (1746-1776)
Workingin Paris in the second half of the eighteenth century, Jean Janvier (1746 –1776) produced a series of maps in the latter half of the century. While thereis some confusion about his Christian name, his maps usually were inscribed “LeSieur Janvier”. He is best known for his collaboration with engraver JeanLattre for an Atlas Moderne first released in 1762 and in several latereditions some by C. F. Delamarche and by Chez Remondini. He also producedseveral maps used in general atlases by William Fadan and P. Santini.
