Sanson, Pierre Moullart (Moulard)
Son of Francoise Sanson – the third child of Nicholas I – and Pierre Moulart. Appointed “Geographe du Roy” in 1695, third in the family to hold the title, after Nicholas I and Guillaume. In 1692 he bought the remainder of the plates from his uncles Guillaume and Adrien, and republished them in an atlas,
incorporating some of his own work to replace plates lost to Mariette. He was succeeded by three persons: lawyer Jean Fremand, priest Jacques-Simon Perrier, and Gilles Robert de Vaugondy, who bought the remaining plates from Mariette.
