Not knowing what sources you have tried for L. Wuhrer (Paris, 1870s
cartographer) it would not come amiss here to suggest (or repeat) the
following bio-bibliographic guide:-
How to identify a mapmaker: an international bibliographic guide
[...]=Comment identifier un cartographe: guide bibliographique
international[...] / edited by Monique Pelletier. - Paris: Comite
Francais de Cartographie; [Tring, Herts: sold also by Map Collector
Publications] for International Cartographic Association, 1996. -
[ii]leaves,82p.; 30 cm. - The contribution for France is on pages 39
to 42, and includes a mention of 'Information on cartographers in
database': "BN-OPALINE database on maps elaborated [!] by the Map
Division of the Bibliotheque Nationale de France with the cooperation
of the Service historique de l'Armee de Terre [...]" (including
20th-century mapmakers)
Perhaps you would let MAPS-L subscribers know how you get on? Or
perhaps not...
Sincerely
Francis Herbert (Curator of Maps, RGS, London)
