Die Hochfürstliche Residentz Friedenstei…

Scarce, impressive c.18th plan of the city of Gotha, in Thuringia, Germany, by Matthaus Seutter.

The view shows the city with his building, churches, the Castle, streets, gardens, town walls and surrounding landscape. The map is adorned with a beautiful large banner-style title cartouche handed by two putti and embellished with Hermes, Gaia handing a cornucopia, an angel with trumpet and a putto handing a large Armorial, a compass rose and a large figurate monument-style legend key cartouche.

From: Seutter, Atlas novus : sive tabulae geographicae totius orbis faciem, partes, imperia, regna et provincias exhibentes, exactissima cura iuzta recentissimas observation.
