IMPERIUM CAROLI MAGNI OCCIDENTIS IMPERATORIS

Map of Europe under the reign of Charles V. Includes a very interesting vignette in the upper left side displaying the Balearic Islands. 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.

Good condition. Fine margins
