Cassini, was a French astronomer and geodesist, who continued the surveying work initially undertaken by his father, Jacques Cassini, and in the process created a monumental map of France. "one of the best-known artifacts of the eighteenth century.". Cassini succeeded his father as director of the Paris Observatory in 1771, but his achievements as an astronomer were less distinguished then those as a geodesist and cartographer. From the 1740s "until his death, Cassini de Thury directed work on a general topographic map of France. Published in 1789, this "Carte géométrique de la France" ("Geometric Map of France"), or "Carte de Cassini," was the first map of an entire country drawn up on the basis of extensive triangulation and topographic surveys" (Encyclopedia Britannia online). The map included here corresponds to the key map for the eventual megalith which consisted of 180 sheets measuring about 11 metres square. "By 1760, 50 maps of the 180 projected were finished, all in the north-central part of France. Between 1760 and 1770, 38 were published, covering all of eastern France, central France north of Lyon, and western France east of Rennes and north of Poitiers. Forty-five more were available by 1780, covering Anjou, Poitou, the Dauphin, and Provence. The Limousin, the Pyrenees frontier, and the region of Nice appeared between 1780 and 1789. All fieldwork but not all engraving was completed by 1789." (Konvitz, Cartography in France 1660-1848. Chicago, 1987, pp. 21-25). Catalogued by Kate Hunter.…
