A reformation of cartography that evolved during the 18th century was characterized by scientific trends and more accurate detail. Monsters, lions, and swash lines disappeared and were replaced by more factual content. Soon the only decorative features were in the cartouche and around the borders. The map interiors contained all the increasing information available, often with explanatory notes and attempts to show the respective reliabilities of some portions.
Where mapmakers formerly had sought quick, profitable output based on information obtained from other maps and reports of travelers and explorers, the new French cartographers were scientists, often men of rank and independent means. For expensive ventures, such as the triangulation of two degrees of a meridian to determine the Earth’s size more accurately, they were subsidized by the king or the French Academy. Similar trends were developing across Europe.
