Charles Francois Delamarche, The Delamarche Family (fl. 1795 - present) Charles Francois Delamarche (1740-1817) founded the important and prolific Maison Delamarche map publishing firm in the late 18th century. The work of Maison Delamarche follows in the footsteps of its predecessors, Nicolas Sanson (1600-1667), Robert de Vaugondy (1686-1766), and Rigobert Bonne (1727-1794), many of whose maps were reprinted well into the early 19th century. Charles Delamarche eventually passed control of the firm to his son Felix Delamarche (18th C. - 1st half 19th C.) and geographer Charles Dien (1809-1870). The firm continued to publish maps and globes until the middle part of the 19th century. Click here for a list of rare maps from Charles Francois Delamarche.
