Detailed early postal map of Italy, by Mattheus Seutter, one of the leading German map makers of the 18th Century, based on an earlier original by Giacomo Cantelli and by Rossi from 1695.
The map provides a detailed treatment of the early Post roads and postal routes throughout the various Kingdoms and Duchies of Italy. Includes two decorative cartouches and a compass rose.
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.
