Appointed hydrographer of the French Navy at the age of eighteen, he eventually became Hydrographer to the King in 1741. Bellin published numerous sea atlases and charts which would be reprinted into the nineteenth century, as well as many maps depicting French colonial territories in the New World. His craftsmanship and commitment to accuracy earned him a distinguished reputation as one of the world's leading cartographers, and many other European mapmakers turned to him for source material.
