Detailed map of the Austrian Empire, extending from the Gulf of Venice, Milan, Cremona and Mantua in the South to Prag, Nuremberg and Heidelberg in the North, Basel and Strassburg in the West and Vienna and Pressburg in the east. Large decorative cartouche. A nice example.
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.
