Description

An early example of Seutter's atlas, published just after he was made Imperial Geographer by Karl VI in 1731. It contains a world map and four continents, the Turkish Empire, Holy Land, and 22 European countries. The maps are early states, before the addition of Seutter's privilege. Good strong imprint and fine colouring throughout.
