Jaillot, Bernard Antoine (???? - 1749)

Bernard-Antoine Jaillot (???? – 1749) was a French map publisher active in Paris in the first half of the 18th century. He is part of the prestigious Jaillot cartographic dynasty, his father is Bernard-Jean-Hyacinthe Jaillot (1673 - 1739), and grandfather Alexis-Hubert Jaillot (c. 1632- 1712). As both father and son published as 'B. Jaillot' or 'Bernard Jaillot', and both worked in the same style from the same offices on a Quai d'Augustins, they are often conflated and their separate work can be distinguished only by date and other tangential data. Like his father, Bernard-Antoine also held the position of Géographe Ordinaire du Roi. BnF data suggests he was born in the 18th century, but it is unlikely, has there are major publications positively attributed from 1717, which would be unlikely.
