When France Was King of Cartography: The Patronage and Production of Maps in Early Modern France - Toposophia: Thinking Place / Making Space
Christine Marie Petto

Over the course of nearly two centuries (1594-1789), in adopting and adapting maps as tools of statecraft, the Bourbon dynasty developed patron-client relations with mapmakers.
