Charles-François Beautemps-Beaupré, né à La Neuville-au-Pont en Champagne le 6 août 1766 et mort à Paris le 16 mars 1854, est un ingénieur hydrographe et cartographe français, membre de l’Académie des sciences et du Bureau des longitudes. Il est considéré comme le père de l’hydrographie moderne.

Il fut nommé en 1814 ingénieur hydrographe en chef et dirigea de 1814 à 1838 la rédaction des nouvelles cartes des côtes de la France. Avec Beautemps-Beaupré commença l’ère des levés côtiers méthodiques et, sous sa direction, le service hydrographique entreprit un nouveau levé complet des côtes nord et ouest de la France. Le Pilote Français (imprimés en 1844 dans 6 atlas grand in-folio), témoignage de vingt campagnes à la mer dirigées par Beautemps-Beaupré, étudie toutes les côtes occidentales et septentrionales de la France depuis Bayonne jusqu’à Dunkerque. Ces documents ne contiennent pas moins de 150 cartes et plans, 279 vues et 184 tableaux des hautes et basses marées, formant un ensemble de 613 travaux distincts qui sont autant de trésors pour la navigation. Cette œuvre fait encore l’admiration du monde maritime et, selon les mots de Frédéric Chassériau « restera, le plus beau titre de l’hydrographie contemporaine aux yeux de la postérité ».

Fool’s World Map, based on Ortelius’s third ‘Typus Orbis Terrarum,’ which suggests a publication date after 1587. Published by an unknown maker, it shows a fool’s or jester’s cap with a world map where the face would be. In this conceit, it is based on an earlier woodcut map by Jean de Gourmant. The text is in Latin : (panel on the left) ‘Democritus Abderites deridebat, Heraclites Ephesius deflebat, Epichthonnis Cosmopolites deformabat’ / ‘Democritus of Abdera laughed at it’ [the world], ‘Heraclitus of Ephesus wept over it’, ‘Epichtonius Cosmopolites portrayed it’; (above the cap) ‘Nosce te ipsum’ / ‘Know thyself’ (from the Greek dictum ‘gnothi seauton’ reputedly inscribed on the temple of Apollo at Delphi); (across the cap’s brow) ‘O caput ellebore dignum’ / ‘O head, worthy of a dose of hellebore’ (a poisonous plant). On the cap’s ears: ’ Auriculas asini quis non habet’ /‘Who does not have donkey’s ears?’, a phrase ascribed to Lucius Annaeus Cornutus, a Roman stoic philosopher from the 1st century AD. The Latin quote immediately above the map is from Pliny the Elder’s ‘Natural History’ (bk. 2 ch. 72) ‘Hic est mundi punctus et materia gloriae nostrae, hic sedes, hic honores gerimus, hic exercemus imperia, hic opes cupimus, hic tumultuatur humanum genus, hic instauramus bella, etiam civica. ’ / ‘This is world, and this is the substance of our glory, this is its seat, here it is that we fill positions of power and covet wealth, and throw mankind into an uproar, and launch wars, even civil ones.’ Below the map is the reason for this, taken from Ecclesiastes, 1.15: Stultorum infinitus est et numerus’ / ‘The number of fools is infinite’ (7). Another quote from Ecclesiastes (1.2) is shown as engraved in the cup at the top of the jester’s staff on the right: ‘Vanitas vanitatum et omnia vanitas’ / ‘Vanity of vanities, all is vanity’. The badges on the decorative belt crossing the figure’s shoulder on the left read: ‘O curas hominum, O quantum est in rebus inane’ / ‘Oh, the worries of the world; oh, how much triviality is there in the world’, which is the opening of the ‘Satires’ of Aulus Persius Flaccus’ Satires; ‘Stultus factus est omnis homo’ / ‘All men are without sense’ (Jer. 10.14) and ‘Universa vanitas omnis homo’ / ‘All things are vanity, by every man living’ (Psalm 39.6). There is an allusive reference to this map in Robert Burton’s Anatomy of Melancholy (1621).

"I believe that the way people live can be directed a little by architecture. I would like my architecture to inspire people to use their own resources, to move into the future. although now we are more and more governed by the american way of thinking, money, the economy… I hope that now people will shift to a more european way (of thinking), culture, individuality, and that people move towards new goals. so for me to be able to contribute to this would be great."
