Cartographer: Bonne, Rigobert

Considered one of the most significant cartographers of the late 18th century, Rigobert Bonne (6 October 1727 – 2 September 1794) held the position of Royal Cartographer to France at the Depôt de la Marine. In his official capacity, he meticulously compiled some of the most precise and accurate maps of the era, representing a crucial shift in cartographic ideology from the decorative style of the 17th and early 18th centuries to a more practical and detail-oriented approach. Though mainly focusing on coastal regions, Bonne’s work is esteemed for its historical significance, meticulous detail, and appealing aesthetic.
