About the Artist:
Abbé Jean Delagrive was one of the most eminent French mapmakers of the early 18th century.
He was born in 1689 in Sedan and became eventually the official Geographer of the City of Paris. Delagrive produced the first atlas of Paris and its suburbs, as well as the first detailed plan of the Seine. He was the creator of numerous contemporary plans and maps, including a famous one of the gardens at Versailles dating from 1746 which, like his famous map of Paris, married an exactness of drawing with great precision of detail.
Jean Delagrive became a Member of the Royal Society of London. He died in 1757.
