Antique map of United States (Northeast) by Seutter M.G. After 1741.
" . . . This map incorporates the distinctive course of the Delaware River, showing it separate from the Hudson, which had appeared on Danckers. The lakes and rivers have been shaded. Some of the names and notes on the map have been translated from Dutch into German and some of the names into Latin.
This is the first map in the series [of this type of map] to show by means of printed lines the boundaries of Massachusetts, New England, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Previously the dividing line had been left to the colourist who tinted the provinces in different colours and improvised boundaries as best he could. A glance through the illustrations will show how varied these could be. Philadelphia had previously been shown as a ground-plan. Now it is shown representationally with five or six houses in relief."

Matthäus Seutter (Augsburg, 1678 - 1757)
Matthäus Seutter was an engraver, globe maker and map publisher in Augsburg. He apprenticed as an engraver to publisher J.B. Homann in Nuremberg in 1697. He returned to Augsburg c. 1707 and set up his own map publishing house, which became a primary competitor of the Homann company. As a result, most of Seutter's maps were based upon, if not copies, earlier work done by the Homann and Delisle firms.
Karl VI awarded him the title of Imperial Geographer in 1731.
