"Mappe-Monde Geo-Hydrographique ou Description Generale du Globe Terrestre et Aquatique, en Deux Plans Hemispheres, ou Sont Exactement Remarques en General Toutes les Parties De La Terre" (translated as "Geo-Hydrographic World Map or General Description of the Terrestrial and Aquatic Globe, in Two Hemisphere Plans, Wherein All Parts of the Earth Are Generally Noted Exactly"). The map was created in 1782 and attributed to three individuals: Louis Brion de la Tour, Louis Charles Desnos, and Alexis-Hubert Jaillot.

Louis Brion de la Tour (1756-1823) was a French geographer, cartographer, and engraver. He was known for his work in creating maps and atlases, including world maps, regional maps, and maritime charts. He often collaborated with other cartographers and publishers.

Louis Charles Desnos (flourished 1760-1795) was a French geographer and cartographer. He worked as a map and globe seller and also created his own maps and atlases. Desnos published several maps of different regions, including world maps and celestial charts.

Alexis-Hubert Jaillot (ca. 1632-1712) was a French cartographer and publisher. He was well-known for his large, detailed maps and atlases, which were often based on earlier works by other cartographers. Jaillot's maps were highly regarded for their accuracy and artistic quality.

The map was likely a collaborative effort among these three cartographers, combining their expertise and knowledge to create a comprehensive world map. It depicted both the terrestrial (land) and aquatic (water) features of the Earth and provided a general description of various parts of the world.
