Verso marked with "Du Arte" label. Cataloguer's Note: A beautifully preserved, hand-colored regional map published in Venice in 1785 by the prominent Italian cartographer Antonio Zatta.

It features Zatta's signature aesthetic style, characterized by crisp copperplate engraving, a pastoral decorative title cartouche featuring local palm foliage, and delicate wash and outline hand-coloring used to distinguish colonial borders. Frame H 16.25" x W 21" Map H 12" x W 16" Good antique condition with light foxing. Unless otherwise stated, all information provided is the opinion of our specialists.
