Seutter - 5 Maps of Europe: Poland, Denmark, Germany, Danube River, Scandinavia
This exceptional folio map is from Georg Matthaeus Seutter's Atlas novus sive Tabulae geographicae totius orbis faciem... The atlas was published in Augsburg circa 1732 to 1741.
Georg Matthäus Seutter (1678-1757) was one of the most important German mapmakers of the eighteenth century. Born in Augsburg in 1678, he became an apprentice to the renowned cartographer Johann Baptiste Homann in Nuremberg. In 1707 he established himself as a map publisher in Augsburg, and quickly became Homann's main rival. His business flourished and by 1731 he was appointed Geographer to the Imperial Court.
