Item description from seller

Hand-Colored Original Copperplate Engraving by Matthäus Seutter, depicting Köln. Published Augsburg, 1730. Sheet: 503 by 585mm (19 by 23 inches). A fine and original hand-colored example of Seutter's celebrated cartographic work, documenting this region of Germany with the precision and decorative artistry characteristic of the 17300s. Matthaus Seutter (1678-1757) was one of the most prolific German cartographers of the 18th century, based in Augsburg. He trained as an engraver under Johann Baptist Homann in Nuremberg before establishing his own publishing firm in Augsburg around 1717. His skill and output were so impressive that Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI appointed him Imperial Geographer in 1732 -- a title he shared with his former master Homann. Seutter produced over 500 maps during his career, known for their richly detailed cartouches, decorative borders, and brilliant hand coloring. His work is held in collections at the Augsburg City Library, the Staatsbibliothek Berlin, and major museums across Europe.This original copperplate engraving, with original hand coloring depicts the region of Köln, published in Augsburg, ca. 1730. The map features a decorative Baroque cartouche containing the title inscription. A distance scale is incorporated within the cartouche or alongside it. The map records the political and geographic boundaries of the region as understood in ca. 1730, offering a fascinating window into the history of German territorial organization. Sheet measures 503 by 585mm (19 by 23 inches). In good condition overall, with minor signs of age appropriate for a 18th-century engraving. Ready to frame. In very good condition, lower margin slightly narrow, however as published in the atlas. 503 by 585mm (19 by 23 inches). 503 by 585mm (19 by 23 inches).…
