Charles-Francois Delamarche (1740-1817), the founder of the family firm, was one of the most important French geographers and mapmakers of the second half of the eighteenth century. Successor to Nicolas Sanson (1600-1667), and Rigobert Bonne (1727-1794), whose atlases he reprinted. In addition to maps and globes, his works include a treatise on the use of the sphere, and celestial terrestrial globes. In the treatise, he illustrates both the Ptolemaic and Copernican systems, as well as listing all the ancient and modern constellations.
