Eighteenth Century Print Relating to the Holy Roman Empire

18th century
Description

A really interesting and decorative eighteenth-century print representing the Holy Roman Empire and titled: con Synoptica Sac. Rom. Imp. (Sacri Romani Imperii). The engraving is the work of Georg Matthäus Seutter (1678-1756) who was one of the most important and prolific German map publishers of the 18th century. It depicts the symbolic figure of an Elector in full robes, covered with listings of all the rulers of the Holy Roman Empire, princes, electors, and dukes. At the left is a pillar of heraldic coats of arms and on the right the crown and chair of state. The print is beautifully coloured and in excellent condition. The work is well framed in a period carved oak and ebonised frame embellished with ormolu mounts in the corners. The whole has a huge amount of decorative impact and historic interest. C.1730.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Eighteenth-century prints from the Holy Roman Empire often combined intricate heraldic symbolism, genealogical structures, and detailed ceremonial attire with Latin text to document imperial hierarchy and authority.

These prints were produced using hand-engraved copper plates impressed onto cotton rag paper, frequently finished with hand-applied watercolour or gouache washes.

Authentic pieces exhibit distinct plate impression marks pressed into heavy rag paper, visible chain lines when backlit, and subtle variations in hand-painted colouring.

Display the artwork as a focal piece on a neutral wall in a library, hallway, or study, pairing it with dark timber furniture or architectural lighting for contrast.

Keep the print away from direct sunlight and high humidity, ensuring it is mounted using acid-free materials behind UV-protective glass.
