FINLAND. LOTTER, JOHAN MICHAEL the second - and JOHAN GEORG (THE LOTTER BROTHERS). Das Grosfürstenthum Finland. Augsburg (zu finden bey Johan Michael Probst) 1788. Handcoloured engraved map of Finland, large part of Russia and the Baltics. About 495x590 mm. Engraved by Johan Georg Lotter. Blank on verso. Some slight spots. Photo. Very rare map known only in 4 copies, according to Michael Ritter, specialist on the Augsburg School (which includes mapmakers as Seutter, Lotter, Probst). In 1788, the Lotter brothers wanted to publish an atlas over Sweden, and they copied the maps made by "Lantmäteriverket" earlier. But when S. G. Hermelin started to publish his large work Geographiske chartor öfver Swerige, with more modern maps, the market for Lotter worsened. The project closed and only a few loose maps were published.
