LOTTER, Tobias Conrad (1717-1777) and Georg Matthäus SEUTTER (1678-1757). Pensylvania Nova Jersey et Nova York cum regionibus ad fluvium Delaware in America sitis . [Augsburg, ca 1757].
LOTTER, Tobias Conrad (1717-1777) and Georg Matthäus SEUTTER (1678-1757). Pensylvania Nova Jersey et Nova York cum regionibus ad fluvium Delaware in America sitis . [Augsburg, ca 1757]. Engraved map of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, partially hand-colored, image 565 x 490 mm. Ornate cartouche depicting William Penn trading with native Americans surrounded by indigenous flora and fauna. Matted and framed (not examined out of frame). PRE-REVOLUTIONARY WAR MAP OF AMERICA WHICH SHAPED EUROPEAN CONCEPTIONS OF THE NEW WORLD. Based on Lewis Evans' map of 1749, with Lotter's name replacing the Seutter imprint. It has a curiously compacted and distorted north-eastern cartography, and significantly fails to show British colonies west of the Appalachians. This, and the elaborate cartouche depicting a plentiful land, suggests the map was used to promote emigration to the New World from the German-speaking continent. See John Docktor, “Seutter/Lotter Map of Pensylvania” in Portolan 26, 1993; McCorkle 750.4; Phillips Maps p.672
