Description

hand-coloured copper engraving. Map from ‘Atlas Novus……Tabulae Geographicae’ pl. 6. After serving an apprenticeship to Johann Baptiste Homann, the Nuremberg map publisher, Seutter (1678-1756) set up his own very succesful business in Augsburg & was appointed Geographer to the Imperial Court. For much of his life he worked in competition with his old employer, & his maps are often very similar to those of Homann.
