1678-1757. Född och död i Augsburg.
Tysk kartograf, son till en guldsmed. Hans föräldrar ville att han skulle bli ölbryggare men han såg till att bli lärling i kartgravering hos J.B. Homann i Nürnberg 1697. Efter lärlingstiden återvände Seutter till sin hemstad Augsburg och började arbeta hos Jeremias Wolff på dennes förlag. Från och med år 1707 arbetade han självständigt som kartgravör i Augsburg. 1710 började han ge ut kartor under eget namn och 1728 var han en namnkunnig kartograf. 1730/1732 fick han titeln 'Kaiserlicher Geograph', kejserlig geograf. Totalt skapade Seutter och hans medhjälpare uppemot 400-500 landskartor, stadsplaner och översikter, genealogiska och kronologiska tabeller m.m.. Av atlasverk kom 'Atlas geographicus' 1725 med 46 kartor, 'Atlas novus indicibus instructus' kom ca. 1730 i Augsburg och Wien. En utökad utgåva av den senare med 131 kartor kom 1734/1735 och slutligen utkom ca. 1744 en 'Atlas minor' med 64 kartor i ett mindre format. I atlasen från 1734/1735 delade Seutter upp kartorna i rutor och lät utarbeta stadsreg...

d'Anville, Jean Baptiste Bourguignon
Born in Paris July 11, 1697 – died January 28, 1782.
Jean Baptiste Bourguignon d'Anville (born in Paris July 11, 1697 – January 28, 1782), was both a geographer and cartographer who greatly improved the standards of map-making. His maps of ancient geography, characterized by careful, accurate work and based largely on original research, are especially valuable. He left unknown areas of continents blank and noted doubtful information as such; compared to the lavish maps of his predecessors, his maps looked empty.

His passion for geographical research displayed itself from early years: at age of twelve he was already amusing himself by drawing maps for Latin authors. Later, his friendship with the antiquarian, Abbé Longuerue, greatly aided his studies.
His first serious map, that of Ancient Greece, was published when ...
