Map of Paraguay, which includes most of modern day Uruguay, and the surrounding territories, with a pictorial cartouche showing a boat, moored with its cargo of boxes and barrels on the shore.Antonio Zatta was one of the leading cartographers and publishers of the time, and his Atlante Novissimo was one of the most beautifully produced of 18th century atlases. He drew on the work of other cartographers- such as Captain Cook, for his maps of New Zealand and Australia, Robert de Vaugondy, Bellin, and developed his own distinctive elegant style.
