maps. Father (image below) and son map-makers were active in Paris during mid-18th
century. The Vaugondys were well respected for the detail and accuracy of
their maps, basing their maps upon their own considerable geographic research,
the journals of explorers and missionaries, and direct astronomical observations. |
