Desnos, Louis Charles


Louis Charles Desnos (1725 - April 18, 1805) was an important 18th century instrument maker, cartographer and globe maker based in Paris, France. Desnos was born in Pont-Sainte-Maxence, Oise, France, the son of a cloth merchant. From April of 1745 he apprenticed at a metal foundry. Desnos married the widow of Nicolas Hardy, sone of the map, globe, and instrument seller Jacques Hardy. Desnos held the coveted position of Royal Globemaker to the King of Denmark, Christian VII, for which he received a stipend of 500 Livres annually. In return Desnos sent the King roughly 200 Livres worth of maps, books and atlases each year. As a publisher, Desnos produced a substantial corpus of work and is often associated with Zannoni and Louis Brion de la Tour (1756-1823). Despite or perhaps because of the sheer quantity of maps Desnos published he acquired a poor reputation among serious cartographic experts, who considered him undiscerning and unscrupulous regarding what he would and would not publish. Desnos consequently had a long history of legal battles with other Parisian cartographers and publishers of the period. It is said that he published everything set before him without regard to accuracy, veracity, or copyright law. Desnos maintained offices on Rue St. Jacques, Paris.

This is a 1761 Claude Buy de Mornas celestial map of the Milky Way and several easily recognizable stars. A few constellations appear, including Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, and the Pleiades. The North Star (Polaris), Arcturus, Regulus, and Sirius are labeled as well. The Milky Way traverses the sphere in an arc, curving down near the center only to rise again toward the right side. Explanatory text occupies the left and right sides, helping orient the map and offering astronomical facts. The whole is surrounded by a beautiful frame-style border. (more details)

This is a 1761 Claude Buy de Mornas celestial map of the Earth's seasons. Using this orbit diagram, Buy de Mornas explains such concepts as why summer is longer than winter. He illustrates the Earth's elliptical orbit, exchanges how it changes in speed, which causes one part of the orbit (a season) to take longer than the other. He also effectively illustrates how the Earth's tilt with respect to the Sun effects the seasons, although he does not include this detail in the discussion of the seasons to the left of the diagram. To the right, Buy de Mornas discusses heat retention and how the changes daylight certain parts of the Earth receive during different parts of the year results in the temperature changes.

A spectacular 1782 wall map of North America and South America issued at the height of the American Revolutionary War, by Louis Charles Desnos, after Alexis-Hubert Jaillot. The map captures French ambitions to reclaim its American territories in the wake of the American Revolution. It also features the wealth of cartographic speculation of the era, including an unexplored Pacific Northwest and Arctic. The lower quadrants also reveal vestiges of the 16th century Terre Australis - the mythical southern continent disproven by Cook's first two voyages (His third voyage returned in 1880, but information about its discoveries had not yet been disseminated).
