Matthäus Seutter (1678-1757) was a prominent German cartographer and publisher who produced a wide range of maps and atlases during the 18th century. The map you mentioned, "India Orientalis cum Adjacentibus Insulis Nova Delineatione ob oculos posita," was created by Seutter in 1730.

The title "India Orientalis cum Adjacentibus Insulis Nova Delineatione ob oculos posita" can be translated to "New Depiction of East India with Adjacent Islands Placed Before the Eyes" in English. This map, like many of Seutter's works, would have been part of his efforts to provide up-to-date and detailed maps of various regions for both navigational and decorative purposes.

During the 18th century, maps were not only essential tools for navigation but also highly sought-after collectors' items and status symbols. Cartographers like Seutter catered to both the practical and aesthetic interests of their clients by producing beautifully designed maps that were often adorned with intricate illustrations and decorations.

Seutter's map of East India and its adjacent islands would have depicted the geographical features, settlements, and other significant landmarks of the region as known at that time. It would have been used by navigators, merchants, and explorers of the era as a valuable reference for understanding the geography of this part of the world. 

In addition to its practical utility, this map, like many of Seutter's maps, may have been appreciated for its artistic and decorative qualities, with elaborate cartouches, illustrations, and ornate borders that were characteristic of maps from the Baroque period.

Matthäus Seutter's maps and atlases remain important historical artifacts, providing insights into the geographical knowledge and cartographic techniques of the 18th century. They are also valued as collectors' items and are often found in the collections of map enthusiasts and libraries around the world.
