SEUTTER (GEORG MATTHAUS)

Atlas novus sive tabulae geographicae totius orbis faciem, partes, imperia, regna et provincias exhibentes..., engraved allegorical title-page by M.G. Grophius after J.C. Weiserman, 50 double-page engraved maps coloured in a contemporary hand, some decorated with allegorical scenes, some general finger-soiling and light staining (mainly towards lower edges/corners, as a result of page-turning, slightly affecting some maps), a few small old paper repairs in margins, contemporary wallet-style limp calf, lettered in blind ('Atlas. Novus. A.L. Mapp.') on upper cover, one leather strap intact, the other loosely inserted, spine and foot of flap restored [Phillips II, 593], folio (550 x 315mm.), Augsburg, Matthaus Seutter, [c.1740]

Footnotes

A nice example of Seutter's world atlas in the original wallet-style binding. The maps include the twin-hemisphere World and 'Planispharium coeleste' maps, three of the Americas (including 'Novus orbis sive America meridionalis et septentrionalis'), Asia, and Africa. Seutter was apprenticed to J. B. Homann in 1687 in Nuremberg, then worked as an engraver for the publisher J. Wolff in Augsburg, before setting up his own map and globe business in the same city. Copies of the atlas were issued with very varying numbers of maps.
