Sebastian G. Longchamps (1718 - 1793) was a manservant and map publisher active in the mid to late 18th century. Longchamps is best known for his long-term employment as the Cirey valet of the French polymath François-Marie Arouet (1694 - 1778), a.k.a. 'Voltaire'. Much of what is known about Longchamps (Longchamp) is obscured as little more than an anecdote in the long shadow of Voltaire, but he was substantial in his own right and worthy of academic attention. Lonchamps' writings on Voltaire are the primary source of information on the author's Cirey period. Less known is Longchamps' map publishing career, which he pursued simultaneously with his valet work. (fl. c. 1862 - 1872) was a topographical draftsman active in the mid to late 19th century. Spangenberg served with the Union Army during the American Civil War (1861 - 1865). His name is attached to at least one important Civil War manuscript maps, of the Battle of Vicksburg, as well as published maps of multiple other battles. After the war, he was active in New York City, where he drew several maps for the New York Parks Commission.
