SEUTTER, GEORG MATTHÄUS
GEORG MATTHÄUS SEUTTER (1678-1757), A German cartographer, geographer and map editor. He was Johann Baptist Homann's disciple, and later the greatest Homann successor's competitor. As graphic artist he started its work in Augsburg. Seutter engraved most of his maps by himself, while for their decoration other artists were entrusted, who in many cases left their signature next to the illustrations made. Seutter's workshop produced about 500 maps. Although these maps are very similar to those issued by Homann they have never reached its outstanding artistic level. The most famous Seutter's works are "Atlas Geographicus", 1725, "Atlas novus indicibus instructus" published in Vienna in 1730, "Grosser Atlas", 1734 and "Atlas monor praecipua orbis terrarum imperia" of 1744.
