Description:
SOLD AS A SET OF FOUR.
Plate three from the set of four famous cartographic curiosities by Seutter. The series of impressive copper engravings intended to serve as a serious instructional aid by illustrating geographical terms.
Depicts a massive figure of the Pope with his hand raised in benediction. His vestment is covered with a list of all of the popes from the 1st to the 17th century, each with a symbol that corresponds to the end of the pope’s reign and indicates it as abdication or death, both natural and unnatural. This key is printed in French with a German key pasted at the top, so you can lift it and see the French key. St. Peter’s cathedral is shown in the background with Romulus and Remus before it.
