Jean Janvier also known as "Sieur Jean Janvier" and "Robert Janvier" was a French geographer in Paris. He worked on many maps himself but frequently collaborated with others. Many of his maps appear in atlases by others. His works include: "France" with Longchamps (1751), "Isles Brit." With Bordeaux (1759), a map in "Atlas de Géographie ancienne et modern" by Jean de Beaurain, "America" with Longchamps (1754), maps of the world, the continents, France and Germany (c.a. 1760), "L'Amérique" (1772) and "Paris" with Lattré (1783-90) (Moreland and Bannister, 136; Tooley, 334). Jean Lattré was an engraver and publisher in France. He engraved for Vaugondy (1743), Janvier (1760) and Bonne. His works include: "Malte" (1752), "Chambry" (1754), "Bordeaux" (1759), "Dijon" (1762), "Paris" (1765), "Atlas Moderne" (1771, 1783, 1793) and "Etats Unis (1784) (Tooley, 379).

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.
Public domain works must be out of copyright in both the United States and in the source country of the work in order to be hosted on the Commons. If the work is not a U.S. work, the file must have an additional copyright tag indicating the copyright status in the source country.

Public domain
This work is in the public domain in France for one of the following reasons:
  • Its author (or the last of its authors in the case of a collaboration work) died more than 70 years ago (CPI art. L123-1) and did not benefit from any copyright extension (CPI art. L123-8, L123-9 and L123-10)[1];
  • It is an anonymous or pseudonymous work (the identity of the author has never been disclosed) or a collective work[2] and more than 70 years have passed since its publication (CPI art. L123-3);
  • It is the recording of an audiovisual or musical work already in the public domain, and more than 50 years have passed since the performance or the recording (CPI art. L211-4).
Please note that moral rights still apply when the work is in the public domain. They encompass, among others, the right to the respect of the author's name, quality and work (CPI art. L121-1). Attribution therefore remains mandatory.
  1. ↑ Copyright extensions must be considered only in the case of musical works and of authors Mort pour la France (died during conflict, in the service of France). In other cases, they are included in the 70 years post mortem auctoris length (see this statement of the Cour de Cassation).
  2. ↑ The collective work status is quite restrictive, please make sure that it is actually established.
