SEUTTER, G. M. - Atlas Minor praecipua Orbis Terrarum Imperia, Regna et Provincias Germinae Potissimum, tabellis 50 exacte delineatis fiftens usui militiae ducum ac peregrinantium maxime accommodatus opera.

Seutter’s Atlas Minor is a beautiful example of decorative German cartography from the mid-eighteenth century. Most of the maps have elaborately engraved cartouches showing religious or military scenes, depictions of the natural landscape, small inset maps and tiny town views. This is a particularly fine example, in full original color with a contemporary calf binding.

Tobias Conrad Lotter [1717-1777] was one of the most prolific German mapmakers of the 18th century. In 1740 he married the daughter of famed German cartographer, Mattheus Seutter, and in 1756 inherited his father-in-law’s business. He was succeeded by his son, Mathias Albrecht Lotter, who continued the business until the end of the 18th century.
