This fascinating 18th-century engraving, 'Icon Synoptica Sac. Rom. Imp. Electorum Ducum cum Principum', is the work of Matthäus Seutter, a prominent German mapmaker and engraver from Augsburg.

To the left, an intricately engraved heraldic tree displays the coats of arms of the empire's noble families and electors, while the right side features symbols of imperial power, such as crowns, scepters, and an opulent throne. The print also includes a colorful key in the top-right corner to decode the various titles and offices represented in the image.
Created using copperplate engraving, the piece showcases meticulous craftsmanship with fine lines and detailed inscriptions.
