This map of the Channel Islands forms an inset of a map of Normandy by Matthaus Seutter from which it has been removed. The common error of the day of displaying an oversized Guernsey in relation to that of Jersey is repeated. It is engraved by his son-in-law Tobias Conrad Lotter (1717-77) whose imprint is found in the lower left margin of the folio map.
Matthaus Seutter (1678-c.1757) was an engraver, globe maker, and map publisher in Augsburg where he was born and died. He was apprenticed to Johann Baptist Homann, and his influences can be clearly seen in his work. Although he became Homann’s main competitor his work was largely not original. He was though named Imperial Geographer to the Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI in 1731. He married three times and had thirteen children! Only four of them joined the firm, his son-in-law Tobias Conrad Lotter continued the firm after his death. An uncommon map. It is not found in any of the four of his atlases held in the British Library. His work largely concentrated on central Europe. Provenance: Gebr. Haas; private Jersey collection. Tooley’s Dictionary (1999-2004).
