Engraved map with hand-coloring in outline and wash, 499 x 581 mm image (sheet 548 x 628 mm). Figural cartouche paying tribute to an English monarch (likely George II), animals, and a Native American fort. (Short closed tear right margin affecting border, 1-in. tear to lower fold just crossing cartouche, a few short marginal tears.) FIRST EDITION, second state with "Sac. Caes. Maj Geographi August. Vind" at the end of the imprint. Seutter's map replaces the Restitutio cartouche (found in maps in the Jansson-Visscher series, see lots 32, 33, and 57) with a new one depicting gods and natives.
