LA GERMANIA ne soui divisa Circoli

Map of Germany with an interesting decorative cartouche, showing an eagle holding a ribbon in its beak, to which are tied a crown, crosses and a dove. An orb and sceptre lie in the ground at the foot of a tree. 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.

Fine condition, good margins.
