About This Item
Augsburg, c. 1770. Copper engraving, 43.5 x 63.5 cms, original hand colour with later additions to the cartouche, left and right hand margins cut close (but still 0.5 cms remaining), blank verso. Lotters map, after Guillaume de lIsle, reflects the typical extent of mid-eighteenth century European knowledge, with various incomplete and conjectural coastlines, notably the west coast of north America and the eastern coasts of New Zealand and Australia, the latter linked speculatively to New Guinea. Tracks of various major navigators are shown, including Magellan, Tasman and Dampier. Tobias Conrad Lotter inherited half of the business established by his father-in-law, Matthäus Seutter; in 1758 he established his own firm, taking his share of the copper printing plates. Map
