Map of the islands off the coast of Zanzibar to be found on the route to the East Indies. It was from Mauritius, situated to the east of Madagascar, that Abel Tasman set out to explore the ‘provinces of Beach’ (the name given in Marco Polo’s travel accounts to the northern tip of Terra Incognito).
Jacques Nicolas Bellin (1703 - 1772)
Bellin was a French multifaceted hydrographer and geographer had an incredibly successful 50 year career producing maps. His illustrious career started at just 18 years of age when he was appointed Chief Cartographer to the French Navy in 1721. His attention to detail, accuracy and high standard of workmanship resulted in him playing an integral role to France’s leadership in European cartography. In addition to being the Chief Cartographer of France’s hydrographic office, he was also a member of the Académie de Marine, the Royal Society of London, and the Philosophes (French intellectual group).
