Maison Basset (1819 - 1865) was a French publishing concern active through the mid to late 19th century. The firm can trace their roots to André Basset (or Bassett) (fl. 1768 - 1784), who starting publishing maps, prints, and books around 1768. Maison Basset, also Chez Basset, is the imprint under which the heirs of Paul-André Basset (1785 - 1819) published the works of such prominent French cartographers and engravers as Barbie du Bocage, A. Vuillemin, J. B. Charle, V. Levasseur, Tu. Duvotenay, H. Dufor, F. E. George, and others. Their library of publications is diverse and vast, but heavily focused on medical and scientific texts, including several important atlases.
Adolphe Hippolyte Dufour (1798 - 1865), also known as Auguste-Henri Dufour, was a Paris based map and atlas publisher active in the mid to late 19th century. Dufour claimed to be a student of another French cartographer, Emile Lapie. His is known to have worked with numerous other cartographers, publishers and engravers of the period including Dyonnet and Duvotenay. His corpus includes numerous maps and atlases, the most striking of which is probably his monumental 1857 elephant folio Grand atlas Universel physique, historique et politique geographie ancienne et moderne.
