Scarce map of North America, published y John Betts in London.
The map shows and independent Texas, Alaska as Russian America, and a fascinating treatment of the Transmississippi West.
Perhaps most interesting is the Anglo-Centric treatment of the Northwest, with the boundary of the future British Columbia extending south the the Columbia River.
Matthäus Seutter (1678-1757) was a prominent German mapmaker in the mid-eighteenth century. Initially apprenticed to a brewer, he trained as an engraver under Johann Baptist Homann in Nuremburg before setting up shop in his native Augsburg. In 1727 he was granted the title Imperial Geographer. His most famous work is Atlas Novus Sive Tabulae Geographicae, published in two volumes ca. 1730, although the majority of his maps are based on earlier work by other cartographers like the Homanns, Delisles, and de Fer.
Alternative spellings: Matthias Seutter, Mathaus Seutter, Matthaeus Seutter, Mattheus Seutter
