Gilles Robert de Vaugondy Biography

Gilles Robert de Vaugondy (1688-1766) was the head of a leading family of geographers in eighteenth century France. Gilles got his start when he jointly inherited the shop of Pierre-Moullart Sanson, grandson of the famous geographer Nicholas Sanson. The inheritance included the business, its stock of plates, and a roller press. In 1760 Gilles became geographer to King Louis XV. His son, Didier Robert de Vaugondy (ca. 1723-1786), was also a geographer and the two worked together. They were known for their exactitude and depth of research. In 1757, they produced the Atlas Universel, considered an authority for many years.

Uncommon and very attractive view of Paris in the middle of the nineteenth century, showing the center of town in the middle of the Rive Droite. The image centers on the Eglise Saint-Eustache, in the region today split between the Second and Third Arrondissements. The perspective and other information available suggest that this view was originally sketched from the perspective of a hot air balloon.

A fine and scarce lithograph of the northwest of Paris, showing the region now known as the Third and Eleventh Arrondissements. At the time when this lithograph was produced, this area was part of the Eighth Arrondissements (out of twelve), with parts of neighboring districts tinted to a darker color. The view is stated as taken from above Saint-Gervais-Saint-Protais, suggesting that the basis of this work likely came from a sketch taken from a hot air balloon.
