An iconic map of Americas by Matthaus Seutter, engraved and published in Seutter's "Atlas Novus sive Tabulae Geographicae" in Augsburg, Germany, in 1730. Curious features are California as an island, Strait of Anian, Terra Esonis, Anian River, Pays de Moozemleck, Quivira, Teguaio, two exquisite cartouches depicting indigenous people, discovery of America by explorer Christopher Columbus and conversion to Christianity, and routes of early explorer's voyages.

Georg Matthäus Seutter (or Matthias Seutter, 1678-1757) was one of the most important and prolific German map publishers of the 18th century. Seutter started his career as an apprentice brewer but soon left his apprenticeship and moved to Nuremberg where he apprenticed as an engraver under the tutelage of the prominent J. B. Homann. Sometime in the early 18th century Seutter left Homann to establish his own independent cartographic publishing firm in Augsburg. Though he struggled in the early years of his independence, Seutter’s engraving skill and commitment to diversified map production eventually gained him a substantial following. By 1732 Seutter was one of the most prolific publishers of his time and was honoured by the German Emperor Charles VI with the title of “Imperial Geographer”.
