Title: America Meridionalis per sua regna, provincias… South America. Seutter c1744 map Description: America Meridionalis per sua regna, provincias et ins. Juxta observation: et descript recenttis divisa et adornata cura et opera. Matth. Seutt. S.C.M. Geogr. Aug. Vind. Cum Privileg: Sac. Rom:Imp. Vicariat. [South America divided into its kingdoms, provinces, and islands]. Antique 18th-century copperplate map of South America by Matthäus Seutter. Original wash colour, enriched with an elaborate allegorical title cartouche depicting regional flora and fauna, maritime emblems, indigenous figures, and a mythical mermaid. The map divides the continent into its principal kingdoms and provinces, with the Andean cordillera finely engraved and the great river systems — the Amazon, Paraguay, and Paraná — prominently delineated. Explorers’ routes are traced, and the mislocated Solomon Islands appear in the Pacific. Off the Chilean coast, a “land discovered by David Anglum in 1680” is noted — likely a cartographic echo of the first European sighting of Easter Island. Intriguingly, within the depths of the Amazon basin appears the label “Village d lOr”, likely a reference to El Dorado, the fabled city of gold long sought by explorers. A richly detailed and visually striking example of early 18th-century European cartography, blending scientific observation with the enduring myths of exploration and discovery. .
