Jacques-Nicolas Bellin, born in Paris in 1703 and died in Versailles on March 21, 1772, was a French cartographer and hydrographer. In 1721, Bellin was appointed hydrographer of the Ministry of the Navy following the creation of the French Hydrographic Office and the Navy’s Map and Plan Repository. He was a member of the Académie de Marine and the Royal Society of London. Over the course of a 50-year career, he produced a large number of maps and atlases. His maps of Canada and the French territories in North America (New France, Acadia, Louisiana) are of considerable value.
