Antonio Zatta (1775-1797) was one of the most important map publishers of late 18th-century Italy. His work constitutes an important transition point between ancient and modern cartography, which was more attentive to the accuracy of geographical detail than to aesthetic embellishment rich in mythological motifs or invention, as was the case in the earlier period. His most important work is Atlante novissimo published between 1775 and 1789. The drawings of the illustrations were edited by collaborators such as Giovanni Marco Pitteri, Anton Friedrich Busching, Pietro Antonio Novelli, and engraved by Giuliano Zuliani. Very good copy with full margins.
