Jean-Claude Dezauche was a prominent Paris map publisher who established his business around 1770. Its foundation was his acquisition of the archives of Guillaume Delisle and Philippe Buache, two of the most highly renowned French royal cartographers.

One of Dezauche’s most lucrative contracts was a monopoly on selling the maps produced by the Dépôt de la Marine. His son, Jean-André Dezauche, inherited this contract when he took over the family business after his father’s death.
