SEUTTER, M. - Venetia potentissima e la più magnifica fiorentissimae la più ricca città capitale della Serenissima repubblica . . .

Birds-eye plan view of Venice, depicting the city's architectural landmarks. Below Saint Marco square.

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.
