1678-1756
After serving an apprenticeship to J. B. Homann, the
Nuremberg map publisher, Seutter set up his own very successful
business in Augsburg and was appointed Geographer to the Imperial
Court. With his son, Albrecht, and son-in-law, Conrad Lotter, he issued
in about 1741 a large series of town plans. For much of his life he
worked in competition with his old employer and, not surprisingly, his
maps are often very similar to those of Homann.
