Matthäus Seutter’s Accurata et novissima repraesentatio ichnographica Hannoverae (1735) is a finely detailed plan of the city of Hanover, produced by one of the most renowned mapmakers of the 18th century. As Imperial Geographer to the Holy Roman Emperor, Seutter was celebrated for his richly engraved and highly decorative maps, and this work exemplifies both his technical precision and his flair for embellishment.

The plan presents Hanover in a carefully executed bird’s-eye perspective, showing the city’s fortifications, bastions, and moat system that underscored its importance as a strategic and administrative center. Streets, squares, and public buildings are meticulously delineated, while churches and prominent civic structures are highlighted, allowing viewers to appreciate Hanover’s urban fabric during the early 18th century. Surrounding cartouches and decorative details add artistic flourish, often featuring allegorical figures or coats of arms celebrating civic pride.

Published during a period when Hanover was rising in political significance—particularly through its connection to the British crown with the ascension of George I—this map reflects both the city’s growing prestige and Seutter’s mastery in combining cartographic accuracy with Baroque artistry.
