"Mappe-Monde Carte Universelle de la Terre Dressee Sur les Relations les plus Nouvelles Soumises aux Observations Astronomique les plus recentes ou sont marquees les Nouvelles Decouvertes." It was created by Jean-Baptiste Nolin's son, also named Jean-Baptiste Nolin, and was published in Paris in 1785.

The map is a double hemisphere map of the world, with the western hemisphere on the left and the eastern hemisphere on the right. It includes detailed geographic information, including the outlines of continents and countries, rivers, mountains, and coastlines. The map also includes important historical and scientific information, such as the routes of famous explorers, the locations of astronomical observations, and the positions of celestial bodies.

The younger Jean-Baptiste Nolin followed in his father's footsteps as a cartographer and produced several important maps during his lifetime. His map of the world is a beautiful and detailed representation of the geographic and scientific knowledge of the late 18th century.

Jean-Baptiste Nolin's son, also named Jean-Baptiste Nolin (1738-1792), was a French cartographer who followed in his father's footsteps and became a highly respected mapmaker in his own right.

Born in Paris in 1738, the younger Nolin was trained in cartography by his father and began producing maps at a young age. Like his father, he was known for his accuracy and attention to detail, and his maps were highly sought after by scholars, explorers, and military leaders.

In addition to his famous double hemisphere map of the world, Nolin produced several other important maps during his lifetime, including maps of France, Europe, and the Mediterranean region. He was also known for his work on the famous Cassini map, a massive map of France that was created by three generations of the Cassini family and is considered one of the most important maps in French history.

Nolin died in Paris in 1792, leaving behind a legacy as one of the most talented and influential cartographers of his time.
