Isole di MAJORCA, D’IVICA’ e di FORMANTERA

Map of Majorca and Ibiza, Formantera in inset. Ornamental cartouche showing a coastal scene, with woman walking, basket on head, barrels on one side, farmer with bundles of reeds on other side.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.
