Main Heritage Compact General HC.MAP.00252 Print Map Item-ID: i11400596 BIB-ID: 1845451 Matthäus Seutter (1678-1756) was born in 1678, the son of a goldsmith, in Augsburg. In 1697 Seutter began his studies in Nuremberg and subsequently worked in the publishing house of Jeremias Wolff in Augsburg. In 1710, he established his own publishing house and print shop. The Seutter publishing house produced a great number of maps, atlases and globes. However, very few original maps were printed there as Augsburg at that time had no university and no connection to the fields of mathematics or the natural sciences. Seutter therefore copied the work of other cartographers, making his own engravings based on their models, with over 500 maps produced in his studio. Seutter's most well-known works are the 1725 "Geographical Atlas or an Accurate Depiction of the Whole World" ("Atlas Geographicus oder Accurate Vorstellung der ganzen Welt") with 46 maps, the 1734 "Large Atlas" ("Grosser Atlas") with 131 maps, and the 1744 pocket atlas "Small Atlas" ("Atlas minor") with 64 maps. Matthäus Seutter died in 1756 and his son Albrecht Karl, his son-in-law, conrad Tobias Lotter, and his business partner, Johann Michael Probst, ran the printing business for five more years.
