Became instructor at the pilot school of Karlskrona in 1745. In an official communication pointing out the inadequacy of Swedish sea charts, Wallman called for more astronomical observations and more careful measurements. Appointed commander and director of pilots in 1755, he was handed the opportunity of personally directing marine measurements, principally on the southern coastline. A successor summed up Wallman's career: 'Nobody before or after has made such great personal contribution to the sounding of our coasts'

Jean le Pautre (June 28, 1618 – February 2, 1682) was a French designer and engraver. Le Pautre was an apprentice to a carpenter and builder. In addition to learning mechanical and constructive work, he developed considerable skill with the pencil. His designs, innumerable in quantity and exuberant in content, consisted mainly of ceilings, friezes, chimney-pieces, doorways and mural decorations. He also devised fire-dogs, sideboards, cabinets, console tables, mirrors and other pieces of furniture.

Le Pautre was long employed at the Gobelins manufactory. His work is often very flamboyant and elaborate. He frequently used amorini and swags, arabesques and cartouches in his work. His chimney-pieces, in contrast, were often simple and elegant. His engraved plates, nearly 1,500 in number, are almost entirely original and include a portrait of himself. He made many designs for Andre Charles Boulle.
He became a member of the academy of Paris in 1677.
