Henri Abraham Chatelain (1684-1743) was a French cartographer and engraver known for his significant contributions to the field of mapmaking during the early 18th century. He was born in Paris and later moved to Amsterdam, where he established a publishing firm called "Chatelain Frères" with his two sons, Zacharie and Jean-Baptiste.

One of Henri Chatelain's most notable works is the "Atlas Historique," a comprehensive atlas that was first published in 1705. This atlas included a wide range of maps, engravings, and historical information, covering various regions and aspects of the world. The work was updated and expanded over the years, with later editions released in 1719 and 1732.

"Mapmonde ou Description Genrale Du Globe Terrestre" refers to one of the maps or sections present in the "Atlas Historique." This particular map, which roughly translates to "World Map or General Description of the Earth,"  provided an overview of the known world at that time, displaying continents, countries, cities, trade routes, and other relevant geographical features.

Henri Chatelain moved to Amsterdam, Netherlands, and founded a publishing firm called "Chatelain Frères" along with his two sons, Zacharie and Jean-Baptiste. Together, they continued to publish maps and atlases, building upon the family's cartographic legacy.

Henri Abraham Chatelain's "Atlas Historique" remains an important historical cartographic work, providing insights into the understanding of the world during the 18th century and the cultural and geographic knowledge of that era. His contributions to cartography have left a lasting impact on the study of maps and geographical representations.
