Maps serve many more purposes besides showing us how to get from one point to another. They are at once artistic, scientific, and technological creations with more than one level of meaning. Maps are pictures of the world reflecting a people's cultural beliefs and perceptions and document the social, political, and economic times in which they are produced.
Maps are not neutral instruments. Beyond providing topographical information, they represent attempts to claim and control land and inhabitants. Instruments of persuasion, maps speak to us about places, people, events, their makers, and their makers' motives.

Seutter, Mattheus (1678-1757).
Matthias Seutter was born in Augsburg in Southern Germany. He began as an engraving apprentice for Johann Baptist Homann. In 1707 he started his own cartographic printing company in Augsburg. Matthias Seutter produced maps, globes (starting in 1710) and atlases (starting in 1728). He became the official imperial geographer of Charles VI. After his death, the business was continued by his son Albrecht Karl (1722-1762) and his son-in-laws, Conrad Tobias Lotter and G.B.Probst. Around 1757/58 Lotter became the sole owner of the company. He removed the name of Seutter from the original plates and replaced it by his own.

Rigobert Bonne, (1727 – 1795, was one of the most importantcartographers of the late 18th century.
In 1773 Bonne succeeded Jacques Bellin] as Royal Cartographer to France in the office of the Hydrographer at the Depôt de la Marine. Working in his official capacity, Bonne compiled some of the most detailed and accurate maps of the period. Bonne’s work represents an important step in the evolution of the cartographic ideology away from the decorative work of the 17th and early 18th century towards a more detail oriented and practical aesthetic. With regard to the rendering of terrain Bonne maps bear many stylistic similarities to those of his predecessor, Bellin. However, Bonne maps generally abandon such common 18th century decorative features such as hand coloring, elaborate decorative cartouches, and compass roses.
While mostly focusing on costal regions, the work of Bonne is highly regarded for its detail, historical importance, and overall aesthetic appeal.
