About the Item
Historical Map of Holstein - Copperplate Engraving by Matthias Seutter, ca. 1730
This impressive historical map, titled Holsatiae. Mappa universalis in suos ducatus nimirum Holsatiam in Specie, Dithmarsiam, Stormariem, Wagriam..., originates from the workshop of the famous Augsburg cartographer Matthias Seutter and was created around 1730. The map is a magnificent, partially colored copperplate engraving that depicts the former duchies of Holstein, Dithmarschen, Stormarn, and Wagrien, located in what is now northern Germany and southern Denmark.
The map impresses with its detailed and precise depiction of the region and is also a masterpiece of artistic craftsmanship. The old hand coloring, which highlights parts of the map in green, pink, and yellow, accentuates the political entities and territorial boundaries, creating a vivid overall impression. The borders are carefully drawn and emphasize the geographical diversity of the region.
In the lower right area of the map, there is a splendid title cartouche that not only conveys the name and geographic significance of the map but also features an allegorical representation of fishing. This symbolizes the traditional importance of fishing in the region. The coat of arms crowning the cartouche highlights the historical significance of the Duchy of Holstein.
Another remarkable detail is the mileage indicator in the lower left part of the map, adorned with the coats of arms of Dithmarschen, Stormarn, and Wagrien. These artistic additions make the map not only a valuable historical document but also a testament to the baroque art of cartography.
Matthias Seutter was one of the most prominent cartographers of his time and served as the official geographer to Emperor Charles VI in Augsburg. His maps are distinguished by exceptional precision and artistic design, and his works were highly valued both by contemporaries and collectors.
The copperplate engraving technique, mastered by Seutter, required great craftsmanship. The map image was first engraved in reverse onto a copper plate, then inked and pressed onto paper. The elaborate hand coloring followed later, giving the map its distinctive visual depth.
Condition: Good condition with only slight signs of aging. Some minor folds and a slightly aged tone are present but do not detract from the aesthetic appeal. The colors are well-preserved and display beautiful vibrancy.
Framing Tip: A dark wood frame with a cream-colored mat under non-reflective, UV-protected glass offers optimal protection and an appealing presentation. Archival-quality materials ensure the preservation of this rare map for future generations.
