SEUTTER, M. - Milano, la Citta Principale et Fortezza Reale del Ducato medsino in Italia . . .

Fine example of Seutter's decorative and highly detailed plan of Milan, with a striking panoramic view of the City below. ¤

Matthaus Seutter the elder first published his "Atlas Geographicus" in 1720 and added to the contents in subsequent editions under the title "Atlas Novus". He was succeeded in his business by his son Georg Matthaus Seutter, and after his death his son Albrecht Carl inherited, but died early in 1762. Matthaus' widow then sold the business to her sons-in-law Tobias Conrad Lotter and Johann Michael Probst, who eventually left it to M.A. Lotter Matthaus' grandson.
