Southern Lorraine by M. Bougereau. c. 1630-1633
Maurice Bouguereau (? - 1596)
Maurice Bouguereau worked in Tours as a French printer, bookseller, cartographer, and publisher. From 1588 to 1596, his address there was 'à la Petite Fontaine du Carroy de Beaulne', in the Rue de la Scellerie.
The most important work of Maurice Bouguereau was the atlas Le Theatre Francoys (20 maps), which he published in Tours in 1594. It was the first atlas of France ever and, thus, a milestone in the history of French cartography. Henry IV commissioned him to produce this work (1553–1610); who was fighting for the unification of his kingdom at the time and wanted to demonstrate his power and greatness with this publication.
