About Pierre Jacotin
- Pierre Jacotin (1765–1827) was named director of all the surveyors and geographers working in the Nile Valley in 1799 during the campaign in Egypt of Napoleon.
- Later on, he also prepared maps of Palestine during Napoleon's campaign there.
- After his return from Egypt, Jacotin worked on preparing the plates for publication, but in 1808 Napoleon formally made them state secrets and forbade publication.
- This was apparently connected with Napoleon's efforts at the time to establish an alliance with the Ottomans. It was not until 1817 that the engraved plates could be published.
