Most of the maps are reductions from Seutter's Atlas Novus and retain his signature. Some have been redrawn by Seutter's son Albrecht Carl and, in many cases, they have been engraved by his son-in-law Tobias Conrad Lotter. Lotter bought part of Seutter's publishing house in 1762 after the death of Albrecht Carl and, like Probst, continued to publish Seutter's maps. Shirley BL T.SEU-3a (earlier edition, after 1744, with 68 maps); Nordenskiöld 283 (earlier edition, c. 1744, with 67 maps); Michael Ritter, 'Seutter, Probst and Lotter: An Eighteen-Century Map Publishing House in Germany', Imago Mundi, vol. 53, 2001, pp. 130-135.
