Bellin, Jacques Nicolas (1703-1772), French cartographer and royal hydrographer. Given that he was the main French maritime cartographer, he created a large number of maritime maps, especially those related to the French colonies.
His most famous atlases are "Hydrographique Francais" in 2 volumes (1756-1765) and "Petit Atlas Francais" in 5 volumes (1763), which was republished in 1765 under the title "Petit Atlas Maritime". He also created the atlas attached to Abbe Prevost's work "Histoire Generale des Voyages (1746-1757)".
