Copperplate engraving, original period colouring, with rich and charming black and white figured cartouche on the left and upper right. Mm 500x580. Seutter, after an apprenticeship with Homann in Nuremberg, moved to Augsburg around 1710 and opened his own business surpassing his master in terms of beauty: his maps always have brilliant colours and elaborate cartouches as well as a wealth of toponyms; he shows the Asian continent with the countries and areas of Russia, Arabia, Persia, India, China, Korea, Japan, Siam, Sumatra, Borneo and Java and a very small part of Australia.
