Gilles Robert de Vaugondy was a prominent French cartographer who lived from 1688 to 1766. He was a member of the renowned Vaugondy family of cartographers and geographers. Gilles Robert de Vaugondy, along with his father, Didier Robert de Vaugondy, and his brother, Jean-Baptiste Bourguignon d'Anville, made significant contributions to the field of cartography during the 18th century.

One of Gilles Robert de Vaugondy's notable works is the map titled "Orbis Vetus in utraque continente," which was published in 1751. This Latin phrase translates to "The Old World in both continents." The map depicts the known world during that time, focusing on both the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.

The "Orbis Vetus in utraque continente" map showcases various geographical features, including continents, countries, regions, cities, and rivers. It reflects the state of geographic knowledge during the mid-18th century, with some areas still being relatively unexplored or inaccurately represented compared to modern maps.

Gilles Robert de Vaugondy's maps were highly regarded for their accuracy, attention to detail, and elegant design. His works contributed to the advancement of cartography, and they are often sought after by collectors and historians interested in the history of maps.
