Victor Levasseur
Victor Jules Levasseur (1795–1862) was a French cartographer widely known for his distinctive decorative style. He produced numerous maps more admired for the artistic content of the scenes and data surrounding the map than for the detail of the map. Victor Levasseur was born in 1795 in France. Little is known about his early life and education, but he emerged as one of the most prominent French cartographers of the 19th century. Levasseur lived during a time of significant political and geographical changes in France and Europe, which greatly influenced his work as a mapmaker.
