In 1860, J. Andriveau-Goujon, a French cartographer and Matthew Fontaine Maury, an American naval officer and oceanographer published a map or chart titled "Courants De L'Atmosphere D'Apres Le Lt. F. Maury," which translates to "Atmospheric Currents According to Lieutenant F. Maury."

Matthew Fontaine Maury was a prominent figure in the field of oceanography and meteorology during the 19th century. He is best known for his pioneering work on ocean currents and winds. Maury's research and charts, including his famous "Wind and Current Chart of the North Atlantic" published in the mid-19th century, greatly assisted sailors in understanding and navigating the world's oceans more efficiently.

J. Andriveau-Goujon likely created this map or chart in collaboration with or based on the research and charts provided by Matthew Fontaine Maury. It would have depicted atmospheric currents and winds in a particular region, possibly focusing on the North Atlantic.

These charts were essential tools for sailors and navigators, helping them plan routes, predict weather patterns, and optimize their voyages. They marked an important advancement in the field of meteorology and oceanography, contributing to safer and more efficient maritime travel during the 19th century.
