Louis Charles Desnos (1728-1805) was a renowned mapmaker, globe maker and publisher of Paris. Throughout his considerable career Desnos worked with most of the eminent cartographers of his day. He came to control plates by Buy de Mornas, Brion de la Tour and Robert de Vaugondy amongst others and re-issued works by de Fer and Le Rouge. All this at a time when Paris could still be regarded as one of the largest centres of European map production. Desnos works included a wide variety of cartographic subjects. Notable works include the Petit Atlas Elementaire (c.1865) and the Atlas National Et General De La France (1790) as well as many more.1786/Paris, France
