Matthaeo Seutter was one of the most  important of the German cartographers of the 18th century, being appointed as the Geographer to the Imperial Court and was joined in the family business by his son Albrecht . The maps from Atlas Minor were drawn by the two Seutters and engraved by Tobias Lotter. These maps are highly detailed with strong original hand color in the body of the map as was the 18th century German style. The cartouches were left uncolored in order to emphasize the elaborately detailed illustrations for which German maps are especially prized. These are some of the most decorative and interesting maps of the eighteenth century.
