Jan Barend Elwe was a Dutch publisher and mapmaker who was active during the late 18th century. One of his notable publications is "Mappe Monde ou Description Du Globe Terrestre & Aquatique," which was published in 1792.

"Mappe Monde ou Description Du Globe Terrestre & Aquatique" translates to "World Map or Description of the Terrestrial and Aquatic Globe." This publication was likely an atlas or a map collection that provided detailed descriptions and representations of the world's geography.

Jan Barend Elwe (1752-1814) was a Dutch publisher and mapmaker who operated in Amsterdam during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. He was known for his production of maps, atlases, and prints, often in collaboration with other prominent cartographers and publishers of the time.

Elwe took over the publishing business of his father-in-law, Isaak Tirion, in 1784, and continued to publish under his own name. He expanded the business and became well-known for his high-quality maps and atlases, which were sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.

Elwe's publications included maps of various regions, city plans, maritime charts, and globes. He collaborated with renowned cartographers such as Cornelis Ploos van Amstel and Jacobus van der Schley. Elwe's atlases often featured decorative elements, such as ornate title pages, illustrations, and elaborate borders.

One of his notable works is the "Atlas Geographique et Universel," first published in 1792. This atlas contained a wide range of maps, covering regions from around the world, and was known for its detailed and accurate cartography.

Jan Barend Elwe's publishing activities declined towards the end of his life, and he passed away in 1814.
