Matthaus Seutter Biography

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

[ India ] The Church Missionary Atlas. New and enlarged Edition (The Seventh). Part II. India

Rare British Missionary atlas of India, including 10 maps. Styled "new and enlarged edition, the seventh" on the front cover. According to a printed circular tipped in the volume the first edition of the Church Missionary Atlas was published in 1857. By the time of the present edition, the publishers were issuing the atlas in parts (three or four). The first part was on Africa, the second part focused on India (with ten maps), and while the remaining parts "will not be ready for some time," we can note that a third part was eventually published, which was devoted to Ceylon, Mauritius, China, Japan, New Zealand, North-West America, and North Pacific.
