Isaak Tirion (1705-1765) was a Dutch publisher. His maps often used the cartography of De L'Isle for reference. Tirion "was more of a bookseller and publisher than a geographer or cartographer. But he must have done very well by the cartographer under his employ as his maps excel in style and exactness..." (Koeman p. 126)
