Alexandre Vuillemin

Alexandre Vuillemin (1812-1880) was a 19th century French cartographer and editor based in Paris.

[1] He produced a number of atlases, and his maps are noted for the frequent use of extensive margin illustrations – vignettes, famous people, and views of cities.

[2] Despite a prolific cartographic career, not a lot is known of Vuillemin's life.

He studied under the French cartographer Auguste Dufour (1798 - 1865),[3] and his atlases and maps are held by and available through many collections including the British Museum[4] and the University of Alabama Historical Maps of Europe Archive.

[5] Vuillemin's most important works include his detailed, highly decorative large format Atlas Illustré de Géographie Commerciale et Industrielle as well as his many French Atlases.
