Bio

The Cartographer Royal to the King of France, officially “Ingenieur-Geographe du Roi”, Louis Brion de la Tour (1756-1823) was a prolific cartographer. Although he has several important atlases and statistical studies to his name, little is actually known of his life and career. What is known is that much of his work was produced in collaboration with Danish royal Cartographer Louis Charles Desnos (1750 – 1790). His most notable work is generally regarded to be his 1766 Atlas General.
