Pierre François Tardieu
Pierre François Tardieu was a very well-known map engraver, geographer and illustrator. Tardieu was born on December 24, 1711, in Paris. He was awarded a bronze medal by King Louis-Phillipe for the accuracy and beauty of his map-making. Tardieu produced many fine works, including maps of Louisiana, Mexico, Russia and Asia in addition to his illustrations of French provinces.

Tardieu died on January 15, 1771, in Paris.
