English: Geographical map representing the entire course of the Rhine, the Moselle, the Meuse, and the Scheldt with the countries confined especially the present state of all the possessions of the house of Austria in the Low Countries (Netherlands) and a large part of France by Matthew Albert and George Fredrich Lotter in Augsburg
While the top left corner of the maps shows the title in French, the bottom right corner contains the translation of the title in German. This exquisite wall map shows the entire course of the Rhine, Moselle, Meuse, and Scheldt rivers, including the surrounding countries in the mid/late 18 century. The map shows the area from Meaux to the West, Ravensberg to the East, Lac de Saint-Point to the South, and Lochem to the North. Cities and larger settlements, as well as the current borders of the countries, are hand-colored.
The map is of great historical significance as it highlights the present state of all the territories of the Habsburg monarchy and the Netherlands, as well as a part of France bordering the Holy Roman Empire. The map is oriented West. The cartographers responsible for this unbelievably accurate map are the brothers Matthew Albert and George Fredrich Lotter sons of and heirs of Tobias Conrad Lotter. The map provides insight into Europe’s political and geographical landscape during the late age of Enlightenment, before the French Revolution.
There are two known editions of this map, one is dated 1794 while this is undated (as this one). There is no consensus on the date of print of this map, but various sources indicate that the print date is around 1770, a few years before the death of Tobias Conrad Lotter.
Note on rarity: Europeana digital catalog contains two dated maps and two undated ones.
