Dear John,
Jacques de Michal (about 1680 to about 1750) was a French military
cartographer. There are several manuscript maps know which he produced
during the War of the Spanish Succession (1701-1714). In times of peace
he continued map making, some of these maps were engraved and published
by Matthäus Seutter in Augsburg. These are a map of Suabia ( Suevia
universa, 9 sheet), a map of the Rhine (Rhenus per tres tabellas, 3
sheet), the Suabian territory of Burgau (Marchionatus Burgoviae, 1
sheet), a plan of the fortress of Kehl (Plan und gegende der Vöste Keel,
1 sheet), and "your" map of Alsace (3 sheet). The undated map was
published separately around 1725/30. In his atlasses Seutter used to
insert another map of Alsace (Alsatia Landgraviatus, 1 sheet), but this
one was not made by Michal.
Hope this helps

Hello.
I have a very large (175 x 59 cm) undated map of Alsace apparently by Seutter
(& Michal?).
Alsatia superior et inferior III. Tabulis delineata......per Iaques Michal,
capitaneum et ingenieur, sculpta a Matthaeo Seuttero, chalcographo august.
The engraving style is very similar to that of other (smaller) Seutter maps of
the early to mid 18th century.
Does anyone know whether this was separately published (seems likely), or
from a book/atlas. What is the approximate publication date?
I could try to provide photos if this would be helpful (not sure how to do that
though...).
Thanks,
John Wehrmeister
