MAPPA GEOGRAPHICA ex novisimis observationibus repraesentans REGNUM POLONIÆ ET MAGNUM DUCATUM LITHUANIÆ
1772 Tobias Conrad Lotter (engraver/publisher) – August Vindel (geographer) : “MAPPA GEOGRAPHICA ex novisimis observationibus repraesentans REGNUM POLONIÆ ET MAGNUM DUCATUM LITHUANIÆ,” Augsburg, showing the partition of 1772, in two formats: a 49 x 60 cm folding map, glued to linen, and versions of a flat map, 57 x 47 cm, from “Atlas novus.” Lotter married Matthias Seutter’s daughter in 1740 and succeeded him in 1756. Lotter originally used Seutter’s plate for the 1759-dated version of this map. After the 1772 partition, the “1759” date on the last line was inexpertly erased in an update.
