Archival tape repair at centerfold in bottom margin, normal aging and browning; otherwise very good plus with a strong impression. Seutter (1678-1757) was born in Augsburg, and served as an apprentice with Homann before establishing his own firm in Augsburg in 1710. He was considered one of the most important German cartographers, but it seems that much of his work He published several atlases, and globes, but his most famous work was his "Geographical Atlas or an Accurate Depiction of the Whole World" published in 1725. This map is of the Weissenfels area in the Sachsen-Anhalt region of Germany. While the title on the map suggests a different location, a map published by Peter Schenk a few years later is almost identical, and clearly indicates Weissenfels. The map is attractive and colorful, and is decorated with a large title cartouche in the upper left corner. matthias-seuter.com. Bagrow p. 185 & 272. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 104151
