JEAN BAPTISTE NOLIN (father) c. 1657-1708
JEAN BAPTISTE NOLIN (son) 1686-1762
J. B. Nolin set up the family publishing business in
Paris
in the Rue St Jacques where he engraved and sold a wide variety of maps,
on some of which he wrongfully used the titles 'Engraver to the King' and
'Geographer to the Duke of Orleans'. On a complaint by Guillaume Delisle
he was accused and convicted of plagiarism but his business continued to
flourish. Many of his maps were based on the work of Vincenzo Coronelli,
the Italian cartographer and of another French geographer, Sieur de
Tillemon (Nicholas de Tralage). His most notable work was the publication
in 1696 of a World Map on one sheet based on J. D. Cassini's 24-ft
planisphere housed in the Paris Observatory. His son continued the
business for many years and prepared an Atlas General which was
published posthumously in 1783.
