When France Was King of Cartography: The Patronage and Production of Maps in Early Modern France - Toposophia: Thinking Place / Making Space
Christine Marie Petto
Geographical works, as socially constructed texts, provide a source for historians and historians of science investigating the social institution of patronage, and the governmental initiatives and support for the science. This work also shows how for two centuries (1594-1789), the Bourbon dynasty developed patron-client relations with mapmakers.
