Copperplate, original colour, mm 485x570. The title above the flags bears the name of Seutter, who printed the plate in 1742. From “Atlas novus” and “Grosser Atlas”. Very good condition with a little repair in bottom margin at centerfold. Lotter run then the business using mostly Seutter's plates but adding some new ones also. Seutter, after having worked with Homann in Nuremberg, opened his own activity in Augsburg around 1720. His maps always have elaborate cartouches and are very decorative and printed on good paper. Lotter married Seutter's daughter in 1740 and succeeded him in 1756. Ritter, Die Welt aus Augsburg, S. 48.
