DELAROCHETTE, LOUIS STANISLAS D'ARCY.
Engelsk kartograf i slutet av 1700-talet. Han gav själv inte ut någon atlas men ritade kartor åt flera kartförläggare, t.ex. Thomas Jefferys (se denne) och Robert Sayer (se denne) 1768 och på 1790-talet för William Faden (se denne) och firman Laurie & Whittle. För de sistnämnde arbetade han även som hydrograf. Så sent som 1852 tog J. Wyld (se denne) med ett antal av hans kartor i sin atlas.

1655-1694.
Direktör för lantmäteriet, tog initiativet till den första svenska Generalkartan.
At the age of 28, appointed director (later director-general) for the National Land Survey. Offices were a room at the royal palace, 'but in autumn, winter and spring, maps never could be stored there because of the moisture, snow and rain that drift in through the leaky walls'. Wrote poetry with same success - 200 years later the works were deemed 'currently unpalatable'. In the early 1690s worked on Stockholm's Outer archipelago, until then poorly represented on charts. For security reasons, the lise of maps was restricted. His maps first round real use a hundred years later as underpinning for Sweden's Marine Atlas (Sveriges Sjöatlas).
