Description
A rare map from a minor publication by the Venetian publisher Antonio Zatta, the Nuovo Atlante, first printed in 1799, consisting of just 24 plates, and updated in the early 19th century with the new "regions" formed with the Napoleonic occupation.
Antonio Zatta was one of the most important Italian map publishers between the late 18th and early 19th centuries. He was also a cartographer, typographer, and bookseller. His workshop, based in Venice, published maps and atlases, as well as numerous literary classics. His work marked a significant shift in the chalcographic style, replacing the mythical elements of traditional cartouches with representative images of the city of Venice. His most important and best-known work is the Atlante Novissimo, published in four volumes between 1775 and 1789. His output features a significant portion of intaglio illustrations (frontispieces, friezes, vignettes, portraits), mostly entrusted to his brother Giacomo and P. A. Novelli.
Etchings, finely hand-colored, in excellent condition.
