I do not have a precise answer but Christophe Ebeling was the one
who commissioned Sotzmann, and the former's collection was purchased
and donated to Harvard in 1818, forming the beginnings of their map
collection (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://oasis.lib.harvard.edu/oasis/deliver/~hou02444">http://oasis.lib.harvard.edu/oasis/deliver/~hou02444</a>).
They have engraved images online, but you might ask them if they
have any of the manuscript maps. Maybe someone on this list will
have a direct answer (and I would be curious myself).<br class="">
