About the Item
Antique 1743 Map – Travels of Jesus Christ & Apostles by Seutter
This is an original antique map titled “Carte des Voyages de Notre Seigneur Jesus-Christ et des Actes des Apotres St. Pierre et St. Paul,” created by Matthäus Seutter and published in Augsburg circa 1743. The map illustrates the Holy Land and wider eastern Mediterranean with a focus on biblical geography, depicting the travels of Jesus Christ and the Apostles, particularly St. Peter and St. Paul.
The central map covers the eastern Mediterranean from Italy and Greece to Asia Minor, Syria, and Judea, detailing regions relevant to New Testament narratives. It is beautifully hand coloured, with routes marked to trace the journeys of Christ and his Apostles. The seas, islands, and major ancient cities are labelled in Latin, reflecting the scholarly audience of the period.
At the lower left, an inset shows Judea under Herod the Great, providing detailed divisions of tribal territories and key towns of biblical history. To the right is an inset plan of Jerusalem, mapping its sacred landmarks and city layout during the Second Temple period. The map also includes a detailed table of place names and biblical references in the upper right for study and cross-reference.
The lower centre features an elaborate baroque cartouche with figures of scribes and scholars, symbols of Christian faith such as the cross and chalice, and radiant divine light. This decorative cartouche is characteristic of Seutter’s engraving style, adding dramatic artistic appeal to his cartographic works.
Matthäus Seutter (1678–1757) was one of the most prominent German mapmakers of the 18th century, appointed Imperial Geographer to Emperor Charles VI. His maps are prized for their rich detail, decorative colouring, and elaborate cartouches that blend art with geographical scholarship.
