Mapmaker:
Louis Brion De La Tour (fl 1756-1803).
Beyond the fact that Brion was an engineer by profession and held the
post of Ingenieur-Geographe du Roi, little is known of his career. He
published a wide range of statistical works and a number of atlases,
published by the well known French mapmaker Louis Charles Desnos
(1725-1805).
