Dezauche, Jean-Claude
Jean-Claude Dezauche (1745 - 1824) was a French map publisher active in Paris during the first half of the 19th century. He established his own engraving firm around 1770 after having engraved music since 1762. Dezauche bought the archives of Phillipe Buache and Guillaume de L'Isle from Jean Nicholas Buache, Buache's heir, in 1780. Dezauche soon obtained a monopoly on selling the charts produced by the Dépôt de la Marine. Jean-Claude Dezuache passed his business to his son, Jean André Dezauche, upon his death, who took over selling the Dépôt de la Marine charts.

A fascinating and beautiful c. 1781 Philippe Buache map of the world, presented on an unusual north polar projection. This is the first work to attempt to map the ocean floor - a revolutionary work connecting undersea with surface geography. Although Buache's submarine geography was speculative at best, the work is a landmark achievement in its attempt to illustrate and scientifically assess the unknowable oceanic depths. (more details)

This is Jean-Claude Dezauche's 1785 map of the Western Hemisphere, here in a superb example of its 1800 revision. While the map has its basis in the similarly titled map first printed in 1722 by De l'Isle, Dezauche did not use the plate inherited from De l'Isle's heir Buache. The map was re-drawn and re-engraved for its 1785 issue, and would be further amended in subsequent printings. (more details)

The northeastern sheet of Pierre Francois Tardieu's 1812 four-sheet map of the United States of America, based on Aaron Arrowsmith's seminal 1796 map of the same.
