Obl. 4to: engr. title and 24 hand-coloured maps (bl. margins of title, 1st and last maps sl. soiled (stronger on title), few spots).
Mod. quarter brown leather, marbled paper boards, flat spine.
Atlas published by Albert Karl Seutter in 1758, a year after the death of his father Matthäus, whose firm he continued. Complete with an engr. title showing military scenes and 24 maps of the Low Countries and sm. parts of England and France; most are reductions of maps by E.H. Fricx.
