Augsburg, c. 1730

Hand colored engraved double-hemisphere world map. The double hemisphere image is surrounded by 8 smaller map inserts of parts of the world, and 4 small circular diagrams, the upper margin with title and dedicatory cartouches. A fine example of Seutter’s famous map modeled on Allard’s world map of 1696 (see Shirley 578). It was first published around 1730 and included in various editions of the Atlas Novus.
