Since September 2023, a survey of the iconographic collection has been carried out with the assistance of occasional volunteer collaborators from the public service at the Bibliothèque patrimoniale de Laon.
On this occasion, a set of maps and plans was rediscovered, which led to an interest in its owner, Claude Antoine Le Marchants de Cambronne (1742-1836).
Former military became scholar, bibliophile and collector, he gathered during his life a remarkable documentation testifying to his interest in the sciences, geography and knowledge of the world. It is to meet this man and his collections that this exhibition invites the visitor.
