The work of reproduction
Fine example of Seutter's decorative and highly detailed plan of Milan, with a striking view of the city below.
The view below the map shows the city on top of a hill, with the fortifications in the foreground.
Matthäus Seutter (1678-1757) was an important German cartographer of the mid-18th century. Initially apprenticed to a brewer, he trained as an engraver under Johann Baptist Homann in Nuremberg before opening a shop in his native Augsburg. In 1727 he was awarded the title of Imperial Geographer. His most famous work is Atlas Novus Sive Tabulae Geographicae , published in two volumes ca. 1730, although most of his maps are based on earlier works by other cartographers such as Homann, Delisles and de Fer.
