Description
Scarce regional map of parts of Poland and Ukraine.
The map shows the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, which was a crown land of the Habsburg Monarchy, acquired during the first partition of Poland and extending southeast to Bukowina, which is shown here shortly before the beginning of the Turkish occupation in 1769.
The map shows major cities, villages, towns, hamlets, post routes, and post offices are marked on the map, with a French key to the symbols.
Tobias Conrad Lotter (1717 - 1777) was a German engraver and map publisher. Lotter married Euphrosina Seutter (1709-1784), elder daughter of Matthäus Seutter. He began working at his is father-in-law's map business about 1740. Between 1740 and 1744 he produced, under Seutter's imprint, the Atlas minor, Praecipua orbis terrarum imperia, regna et provincias, Germania potissimum tabelli. Upon Seutter's death, in 1757, the firm's stock was taken over by his son, Albrecht Karl Seutter (1722-1762), who himself died in 1762, just a few years later. The remaining Suetter map plates were subsequently divided between Lotter and the publisher Johan Mitchell Probst (1727 - 1776). With the support of his sons, Matthäus Albrecht (1741-1810), Georg Friedrich (1744-1801) and Gustav Conrad (1746-1776), Tobias Conrad Lotter succeeded in building on the economic success and professional reputation of his father-in-law. In time, Lotter became one of the most prominent mid-18th century map publishers working in the German school.
