Description:

This interesting map of Eastern Germany by Seutter shows the region just to the south of Merseburg, with Naumburg to the west and Zeitz to the south. At the bottom is a lovely bird's-eye view of Naumburg, with many buildings identified with a numbered key.

The allegorical title cartouche features Athena and Putti. A city view with a thirteen-part location key is located at the bottom. Engraved by Potter, it is from Grosser Atlas.

Georg Matthäus Seutter (1678-1757) was one of the most important and prolific German map publishers of the 18th century. He apprenticed as an engraver under the tutelage of the prominent J. B. Homann.
