Condition: Good. [Descripción en español a continuación] Antique map of Paraguay which also covers the present-day territories of Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina and Chile. It indicates the location of the missions of the Society of Jesus that were established on the continent between 1609 and 1767. A particularly inte…resting aspect of this original map is that it is based on cartographic information gathered by the Jesuit missionaries, who controlled the area and had the most advanced and up-to-date geographical knowledge of their time, until their expulsion in 1767. Detailed, it contains abundant toponymy, and even some of the names are in the original languages. It includes hydrographic network, orography in profile, territorial division, roads, cities, and of course, the location of the missions. The course of the Río de la Plata stands out, from its origin in Lake Xareyes to its mouth in the Atlantic. It identifies cities such as Buenos Aires, Cuzco, Montevideo, Copiapó, Mendoza, Santiago and the Potosí hill, among others. It includes a compass rose and presents hand-applied colours. It was engraved by the German Matthew Seutter (1678-1757), official cartographer of the Holy Roman Emperor and one of the most notable of his time. He was an apprentice of the famous Johann Baptist Homann towards the end of the 17th century in Nuremberg. He then settled in Augsburg to establish his own publishing firm where he published his Atlas Geographicus (1725) and the Grosser Atlas (1735). Seutter's son, Albrecht (1722-1762), joined him in the publishing business, who on his father's death continued with the family enterprise in partnership with Tobias Lotter (1717-1777), thus beginning the Seutter-Lotter dynasty that would produce important cartographic works until the 1790s. -------------------- Mapa antiguo de Paraguay que abarca también los actuales territorios de Perú, Bolivia, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina y Chile. Indica la ubicación de las misiones de la Compañía de Jesús que se establecieron en el continente entre 1609 y 1767. Un aspecto particularmente interesante de este mapa original es que está basado en información cartográfica recopilada por los misioneros jesuitas, quienes controlaron la zona y contaron con el conocimiento geográfico más avanzado y actualizado de su época, hasta su expulsión en 1767. Altamente detallado, contiene una abundante toponimia, e incluso algunos de los nombres están en los idiomas originales. Incluye red hidrográfica, orografía de perfil, división territorial, caminos, ciudades, y por supuesto, la ubicación de las misiones. Destaca el curso del río de la Plata, desde su origen en el lago Xareyes hasta su desembocadura en el Atlántico. Identifica ciudades como Buenos Aires, Cusco, Montevideo, Copiapo, Mendoza, Santiago y el cerro del Potosí, entre otros. Incluye una rosa de los vientos y presenta colores aplicados a mano. Fue grabado por el alemán Matthew Seutter (1678-1757), cartógrafo oficial del Sacro Emperador Romano y uno de los más notorios de su época. Fue aprendiz del afamado Johann Baptist Homann hacia finales del siglo XVII en Nuremberg. Después se instaló en Augsburgo para establecer su propia firma editorial donde publicó su Atlas Geographicus (1725) y el Grosser Atlas (1735). El hijo de Seutter, Albrecht (1722-1762), se le unió en el negocio editorial, quien a la muerte de su padre continuó con la empresa familiar en sociedad con Tobias Lotter (1717-1777), iniciando así la dinastía Seutter-Lotter que produciría importantes trabajos cartográficos hasta la década de 1790.
