Hand-colored period copper engraving with later retouching, 409x323 mm, engraved by G. Pitteri. From *Atlante novissimo*. An excellent copy with good margins. Antonio Zatta (1775–1797) was one of the most important publishers of maps in late 18th-century Italy. His work represents a significant transition between ancient and modern cartography, focusing more on the accuracy of geographical details than on aesthetic embellishments rich in mythological or fictional motifs, as was typical of the preceding era. His most important work is precisely the *Atlante novissimo*, published between 1775 and 1789.
