Background on Creator
C. B. Glot was a late‑18th to early‑19th century Paris‑based map engraver active in the sacred‑geography and urban‑cartography market, known today primarily through a small corpus of signed copperplate works—including the 1793 Plan de la Ville de Genève, the 1799 Carte de la Terre Sainte divisée selon les douze Tribus d’Israel, and several related Holy Land and European maps produced in collaboration with figures such as the engineer‑geographer Pichon, the publisher Esnault, and the engraver Étienne‑Claude Voysard—while remaining otherwise undocumented biographically in surviving records.
