Lotter Tobias Conrad
La plus Grande Partie de la Manche qui contient Les Cotes d’Angleterre et celles de France les Bords, Martimes de Picarde aux depens de Tob. Conr. Lotter Geogr. Aug. Vind.
In folio (50x58 cm il foglio). Esemplare in magnifica coloritura coeva ed in ottime condizioni di conservazione. Magnifica e vivida tiratura di questa celeberrima carta del territorio della Manica realizzata, per la prima volta da Matthaus Seutter nel 1730 che la riprodusse in diversi atlanti compositi. Venne poi ripresa, aggiornata e corretta dal suo successore e cognato (sposò una delle figlie di Seutter), il cartografo, editore ed incisore Tobias Conrad Lotter (1717 - 1777). Lotter, si formò alla bottega di Matthaus Seutter per il quale lavorò. Alla morte di Seutter ne rilevò l’attività che portò avanti fino al 1777 anno della sua morte. L’attività passo poi al figlio, Matthias Albrecht Lotter. Tobias Conrad fu uno dei più apprezzati cartografi del settecento. La mappa copre l'Inghilterra sudorientale, compresa Londra e l'intera lunghezza del fiume Tamigi, da Gloucester e Salisbury allo stretto di Dover e dall'Oxfordshire all'Isola di Wight. Le coste della Normandia sono coperte da Calais a Havre De Grace. La mappa di Lotter riprende quella di Seutter combinando elementi di carte nautiche e mappe tradizionali con l’indicazione della profondità marina e ombreggiature che indicano pericoli sottomarini in tutto il Canale della Manica, nel Mare del Nord e nello stretto di Dover. In fondo, al centro della mappa, appare un elaborato titolo allegorico di cartiglio. Il cartiglio presenta divinità greche tra cui Poseidone ed Ermes, oltre a mercanti, api mellifere e navi mercantili. Esemplare in ottime condizioni di conservazione ed ad ampi margini.
