With insets of Jersey and Guernsey.Matthäus Seutter was born in 1685 the son of a goldsmith in Augsburg. In 1697 Seutter began his studies in Nuremberg and subsequently worked in the publishing house of Jeremias Wolff in Augsburg. In 1710 he established his own publishing house and print shop. The Seutter publishing house produced a great number of maps atlases and globes. However very few original maps were printed there as Augsburg at that time had no university and no connection to the fields of mathematics or the natural sciences. Seutter therefore copied the work of other cartographers making his own engravings based on their models. Over 500 maps were produced in his studio. Seutter's most well-known works are the 1725 ""Geographical Atlas or an Accurate Depiction of the Whole World"" ""Atlas Geographicus oder Accurate Vorstellung der ganzen Welt"" with 46 maps the 1734 ""Large Atlas"" ""Grosser Atlas"" with 131 maps and the 1744 pocket atlas ""Small Atlas"" ""Atlas minor"" with 64 maps. Matthäus Seutter died in 1757. Seutter's son Albrecht Karl his son-in-law Conrad Tobias Lotter and his business partner Johann Michael Probst ran the printing business for five more years. unknown
