Guillaume Delisle
Guillaume Delisle, also spelled Guillaume de l'Isle, (28 February 1675, Paris - 25 January 1726, Paris〔http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/156617/Guillaume-Delisle〕) was a French cartographer known for his popular and accurate maps of Europe and the newly explored Americas and Africa.
==Childhood and education==
Deslile was the son of Marie Malaine and Claude Delisle (1644–1720), who later remarried Charlotte Millet de la Croyère after his first wife died following childbirth. It is possible that the couple had as many as 12 children, but many of them died at a young age. Although Claude Delisle had studied law, he also taught history and geography. Claude had such a good reputation in Paris’ intellectual circles that he educated lords, among them was the duke Philippe d’Orléans who later became regent for the crown of France, and collaborated with well-known cartographer Nicolas Sanson. Guillaume and his two of half-brothers, Joseph Nicolas and Louis, ended up pursuing similar careers in science.〔RV Tooley, “Guillaume Delisle”, In Tooley’s Dictionary of Mapmakers. New York: Meridian Publications, 1979, 353.〕
While Claude certainly has to be given credit for Guillaume’s education, the latter showed early signs of being an exceptional talent. He would soon contribute to the family workshop by drawing maps for his father’s historical works. Some have questioned the authorship of these first maps, saying that Delisle only copied what Claude had done before him, but his work is not that surprising since he had gained experience during his childhood. In order to perfect his skills, Guillaume Delisle became the student of the astronomer Jean-Dominique Cassini. Early on he produced high quality maps, the first being his ''Carte de la Nouvelle-France et des Pays Voisins'' in 1696.〔Nelson-Martin Dawson, L’Atelier Delisle : L’Amérique du Nord sur la table à dessin, Sillery: Éditions Septentrion, 2000.〕
