Charles-Victor Monin was a highly active French cartographer and geographer based in Paris during the first half of the nineteenth century. He was renowned for his precision in drafting and his ability to synthesize complex political changes into clear, readable maps for both scholarly and public use. Monin frequently collaborated with major publishers like Delaval and Langlois to produce universal atlases and specialized regional maps that accounted for the rapid border redefinitions of the post-Napoleonic era. His work is noted for its technical accuracy in longitude and latitude and its refined aesthetic quality. Monin’s maps remain important historical records of the administrative consolidation of the German states and the reorganization of Eastern Europe.
