    Fun fact : the caricatural French "disguise" the lads use is actually specifically from Brittany. Back in the day Breton onion sellers (also known as Onion Johnnies) would travel to Great Britain wearing their trademark "marinière" (blue/white horizontal striped shirt) and bérets, and that became how the British saw the French.

      Napoleon didn't throw Cassini Jr Jr Jr in prison. Cassini was imprisoned in 1794 but Napoleon didn't take power until 1799. It was the National Assembly (the precursor to Napoleon) who imprisoned Cassini.
      In fact, Napoleon really liked him and made Cassini a senator and a count which was unsurprising given Napoleon's large respect for and patronage of the sciences.

    There is one sidenote I would like to place next to the four generations thing: in those days, it wasn't uncommon at all for sons to take up the same profession as their fathers. If your father was a carpenter, you became a carpenter too, because he taught you all the tricks of the trade. So in that sense, four generations of Cassini's all being cartographers wasn't that unusual. Of course, that they all worked on one giant project for that long is pretty incredible.

    Would be great if you could explain the French cliché with the garlic’s collar, lads :)

    Maybe a video would be a interesting idea, wouldn’t be?

      I think they are onions but either way, they come from Breton onion sellers (or Onion Johnnies) that came to Britain (especially Wales) wearing the blue and white striped shirt (marinière). These onion sellers usually had onions on a string as well which is where it comes from. Considering most British people would have only seen French people like this (during the 1830s to 1930s), the stereotypes of French people came from them.
