Blank on verso. Outstanding condition.Matthaus Seutter (1678and#8211;1757) was one of the most important and prolificGermanmappublishersof the 18th century.Seutter started his career as anapprenticebrewer. Apparently uninspired by the beer business, Seutter left his apprenticeship and moved toNurembergwhere he apprenticed as anengraverunder the tutelage of the prominentJ. B. Homann. Sometime in the early 18th century Seutter left Homann to establish his own independent cartographic publishing firm inAugsburg. Though he struggled in the early years of his independence, Seutterand#8217;s engraving skill and commitment to diversified map production eventually gained him a substantial following. Most of Seutterand#8217;s maps were heavily based upon, if not copies of, earlier work done by the Homann and Delisle firms.By 1732 Seutter was one of the most prolific publishers of his time and was honored by theGerman EmperorCharles VIwith the title of and#8220;Imperial Geographerand#8221; Seutter continued to publish until his death, at the height of his career, in 1757. The Seutter firm continued under Seutterand#8217;s wastrel son Albrecht Carl until his death in 1762. Following Albrechtand#8217;s death, the firm was divided between the established Probst firm and the emerging firm of Tobias Conrad Lotter. Lotter, Matthand#228;us Seutterand#8217;s son in law, was a master engraver and worked on behalf of the Seutter firm. Lotter would eventually become one of the most prominent cartographers of his day View Our Categories Decorative Prints World Wide Maps Scotland Maps Architecture Design England Maps Royalty About UsWe specialise in selling all items that can be considered to be Antique Paper. * PRINTS * MAPS * HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS * POSTAL HISTORY * BOOKS * POSTERS * STAMPS * POSTCARDS * EPHEMERA And anything else that is considered Antique and made of Paper.
