IMPERIUM ALEXANDRI MAGNI Per Europa, Asiam et Africam

A very interesting and unusual map of the Empire of Alexander the Great, including a title cartouche. 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 and Bellin, and developed his own distinctive elegant style.

Very good condition. Fine margins
