Show morePhillipe Buache (1700-1773) was one of the most prominent geographers of the 18th century at a time Paris was a center for cartography. He was the preeminent student of the French cartographer Guillaume de l'Isle (16751726) and went on to marry his daughter and inherit his workshop upon De l'Isles death. Buache was known for his theoretical work in physical geography. He published a number of major works including "Considérations géographiques et physiques sur les découvertes nouvelles dans la grande mer" (1754), "Le parallèle des fleuves des quatre parties du monde pour servir a déterminer la hauteur des montagnes" (1757), "Mémoire sur la traversée de la mer glaciale arctique" (1759), "Considérations géographiques sur les terres australes et antarctiques" (1761). This map was based upon a presentation to the Academie de Sciences in 1744 though it was published some ten years later. Buache was significant for formulating a theory about the importance of watersheds in physical geography. This map is an illustration of that theory. Note the systems of mountain ranges forming basins that the rivers flow out of and into the ocean. The map is indicative of a careful scientific mind, note for exapmle that the continent of Australia is only delineated according to the latest discoveries and left in an unfinished state. The Paris Meridian is demarcated on the map though it uses the earlier Ferro meridian as its prime meridian.This map was engraved by F. Desbruslins in 1757. dréssée et présentée à l'Acad. le 5 septbre. 1744 par Ph. Buache ; gravé par Desbruslins, Pere. 1757.

D'Apres de Mannevillette ( 1707-1780), whose Oriental Neptune provides the maps to accompany this Navigator, was a celebrated French cartographer who had a long and distinguished career in the French East India Company. His father was a ship's captain in the service of French West India Company, born in Le Havre, de Mannevillette visited the Caribbean in 1726 abroad Le Marechal D'Estrées, He studied under the famous Guillaume Delisle, the King's geographer, and during a voyage to China in 1728 he succeeded in correcting the latitudes of many places using new instruments. Back in France he devised a plan to correct and publish all the existing maps of the route to China: the Red Sea, the coasts of India, Malaya, the northern parts of Indonesia, Indochina and China, Interested in Navigation in his youth, he was one of the first Frenchmen to use Hadley's quadrant, from 1735 he began collecting charts and material about the navigation of Africa and the Indies, travelling extensively for the purpose During his many voyages d'Apres de Mannevillette created a number of charts for a hydrographic atlas which, with the support of the Academie des Sciences, was published in Paris in 1745 under the title "Le Neptune Oriental" with 25 maps. For the next thirty years, with the help of his friend and eminent British hydrographer Alexander Dalrymple, d'Apres de Mannevillette revised his charts for a second and enlarged edition. This comprehensive atlas was used on all French ships and by some foreign ones too, navigating the Indian Ocean. It replaced the "English Pilot" published by John Thornton in 1700 and the charts of the van Keulens, the hydrographers of the Dutch East India Company, which were full of errors.
