Leconte, A.
André Leconte (fl. 1880 - 1930) was a Paris based guidebook and map publisher active in the latter part of the 19th and early 20th centuries. He is one of the publishers of the attractive art nouveau style "Nouveau Paris Monumental" series. Leconte is often associated with L. Guilmin, another Paris based map publisher of the same period. Early in World War II (1939 - 1945) the firm published anti-German propaganda, but briefly shut down operations during the occupation. Leconte's name appears on maps and guidebooks of Paris well after his death (though we can't date this event with any precision) to about 1980.

This is a 1940 Bergelin propaganda map of the British Isles, northern France, and the North Sea at the beginning of World War II (1939 - 1945). The map details the critical effort to keep British and continental shipping lanes and supply lines open. Since this broadside is French, published in Pairs, and anti-German, it must predate the May 1940 German invasion of France. (more details)
