MAP - A good example of one of the most attractive maps of the island of Ceylon, shown with north to the right, in full original colour. Matthias Seutter was one of a handful of German mapmaker/publishers active at this time and competing with Dutch and French dominance of the European map trade. Their work is typified by a strongly engraved style with elaborate cartouches, in this case decorated with European and Ceylonese figures, swags of fruit and trinkets, and, as here, distinctive full wash colour on land areas. ]]> http://www.jpmaps.co.uk/map/id.32862 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 11:09:05 +0100 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/jpmaps/~3/qETE7kMO204/id.32862http://www.jpmaps.co.uk/map/id.32862 denmark MAP - Samuel Augustus Mitchell's "New Universal Atlas ..." comprised finely engraved and delicately hand-coloured maps and plans of all areas of the world.
