Augusta, 1730 circa. Incisione in rame all’acquaforte, colore d’epoca, cm 50,5 x 59 (alla lastra) più margini. Matthäus Seutter (1678 – 1757) è stato uno dei più importanti editori tedeschi di carte e mappe del XVIII secolo. Inizialmente attivo come incisore per Johann Baptist Homann e poi per Jeremia Wolff, intorno al 1717 fondò ad Augusta una propria casa editrice di cartografia. La maggior parte delle carte del Seutter sono basate su quelle di Homann ma ciò nonostante intorno al 1730 Seutter risultava fra gli editori più prolifici del suo tempo, fu onorato dall'imperatore Carlo VI con il titolo di Geografo Imperiale e la maggior parte delle sue carte includette la denominazione “Avec Privilege”. Seutter continuò a pubblicare fino alla morte che sopraggiunse nel 1757 quando egli era all'apice della carriera. Esemplare con alcune pieghe e strappi marginali, leggeri punti di sporco ai margini, in accesa coloritura (come allora si usava fare), discreto stato di conservazione.

Venezia, presso Antonio Zatta, 1774. Incisione in rame all'acquaforte, confini in colore d'epoca cm 33 x 42,8 circa (alla lastra) più margini. Rappresentazione dell'emisfero terrestre settentrionale, incisa e preparata dallo Zuliani e dal Pitteri e edita dallo Zatta. Come si dice nella lunga didascalia esplicativa al margine inferiore, nel redigere la carta e nel far riferimento alle “terre Antartiche, “in cui fin ora la Geografia non ha il minimo fondamento” si è fatto riferimento alle “più probabili congeture adottando il sistema proposto dal Sig.r Robeto de Vaugundy”. É interessante come nella carta siano rappresentate le principali montuosità, con tratteggio da destra a sinistra. Esemplare in margini, in bella coloritura e in buono stato di conservazione.
