Fransk geograf i slutet av 1700-talet. Det finns en rad enkla kartor av honom från åren 1753-91 men ingen hel atlas. Titeln geograf anger han själv på kartorna. Inga ytterligare upplysningar om honom har funnits, om han inte är identisk med Jean Francois Augustin Janvier de Flainville (1717-91), som var advokat till 1759, inspektör vid krigsakademin vid revolutionen 1789 och senare borgmästare i Chartres och dessutom känd arkeolog.

Pictorial maps - maps with vignette illustrations on top of the geographical content - go back practically to the known beginning of cartographic history: Petroglyph maps dating from the Neolithic sometimes are found combining geographic features with representations of animals, people or dwellings.
Vignette insets or overlays are also found throughout the period of printed maps. But maps richly overlaid with small pictures are more commonly found from the 19th century onwards. (A notable exception is the Carta Marina of Olaus Magnus, published in Venice in 1539, which presents a depiction of Scandinavia with more than 100 small woodcut illustrations of animals, real and imagined, and of people pursuing all kinds of activities, such as hunting, fishing, skiing, etc.)
Ernest Dudley Chase was an exceptional creator of pictorial maps. Though he worked primarily as a graphic artist and businessman in the greeting card industry, Chase also designed, drew, and self-published more than 50 pictorial map...
