The right cartouche displaying reference keys and bar scales is crowned with a crown and the Scottish coat-of-arms. A compass rose off the mouth of the Fyrth of Forth. Matthäus Seutter 1678-1757 was one of the most important and prolific German map publishers of the 18th century. Matthaus Seutter the elder first published his "Atlas Geographicus" in 1720 and added to the contents in subsequent editions under the title "Atlas Novus". He was succeeded in his business by his son Georg Matthaus Seutter and after his death his son Albrecht Carl inherited but died early in 1762. Matthaus' widow then sold the business to her sons-in-law Tobias Conrad Lotter and Johann Michael Probst who eventually left it to M.A. Lotter Matthaus' grandson. Wikipedia unknown
