Auctor: Georg Matthäus Seutter (1647–1756) was one of the most important and prolific German map publishers of the 18th century. Seutter copied the work of other cartographers, making his own engravings based on their models. Seutter published his small atlas Atlas minor in 1744 with 64 maps. After Matthaus Seutter died his son, Albrecht Karl and his son-in-law Conrad Tobias Lotter ran the business for five more years. After Seutter's death his son-in-law Tobias Conrad Lotter and publisher Johann Michael Probst resubmitted the atlas (1762) and the name Seutters on the copper plates for the most part replaced those of Tobias Conrad Lotter (Verlag Tob. Lotter)
