Pierre M. Lapie (1777 or 1779 – 1850)[1] was a French cartographer and engraver. He was the father of cartographer Alexandre Emile Lapie. Lapie was a Colonel in the French army, where he worked in the corps of topographical engineers.[2] Lapie worked closely with his son and published works together and individually. The work of Lapie and his son was influential on German commercial map makers in the 19th century.[3] Works by Lapie are held in the collection of the Library of Congress.[2]
