DIDIER ROBERT DE VAUGONDY c. 1723-86 The Robert de Vaugondys were descended from the Nicolas Sanson family through Sanson's grandson, Pierre Moulard-Sanson; from him they inherited much of Sanson's cartographic material which they combined with maps and plates acquired after Hubert Jaillot's death in 1712 to form the basis for a very beautifully produced Atlas Universel. The old material was much revised and corrected with the addition of many new place names. The elder Robert de Vaugondy, Gilles, is also known as Le Sieur or Monsieur Robert. He was Geographer to the French King. Condition: The map is in good condition. Origin: The map is from "Atlas Portratif Universel et Militaire" avec privilege du Roi, published in Paris, 1749.
