His is known to have worked with numerous other cartographers, publishers and engravers of the period including Dyonnet and Duvotenay. In 1824, he first published a geographical analysis of the map of Palestine under his own name, and from then on took part in a series of historical and topographical publications for which he prepared and drew plans and maps. 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. His main works are: L'atlas élémentaire et universel de géographie ancienne et moderne (1828); Plusieurs Précis de système planétaire et de cosmographie; L'atlas joint à la France illustrée de Victor Adolphe Malte-Brun (1855); L'atlas Dufour, atlas universel, physique, historique et politique de la France, de ses départements et de ses colonies (1857).
