Augsburg Cartography Etching Watercolour Plan 1742 Seutter
FEATURES IN THESE COLLECTIONS
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite etching and watercolor map, titled "Plan der Stadt Augsburg," was created by the renowned German cartographer Matthaeus Seutter in 1742. Seutter, born in Augsburg in 1678, was a leading mapmaker and publisher of his time, known for his meticulous attention to detail and artistic flair. This map is a testament to his exceptional skills, showcasing the city of Augsburg in all its complexity during the early 18th century. Augsburg, located in modern-day Bavaria, Germany, was an important commercial and cultural center during the Baroque period. Seutter's map captures the city's intricate urban layout, with its winding streets, fortifications, and various architectural landmarks. The map is adorned with intricate etchings and delicate watercolor details, adding depth and texture to the image. The map is further enhanced by Seutter's inclusion of topographical features, such as the Lech River and the surrounding hills, providing a sense of the city's geographical context. The map also features various inscriptions and annotations, including the names of key landmarks and the city's coat of arms. This beautiful work of art not only serves as a historical record of Augsburg during the 18th century but also as a testament to the artistic and cartographic prowess of Matthaeus Seutter. The map is currently held in a private collection, a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Augsburg and Germany as a whole.
