An Italian derivative of Rigobert Bonne’s map of Normandy, Maine, and Perche including the Channel Islands. It is from the ‘Atlante Novissimo’ by Antonio Zatta (fl.1750-1804) which was published in four volumes between 1775 and 1785. The atlas was designed to accompany the ‘Nuovo Geografia’, an Italian translation of the geographical treatise of A F Busching (Shirley). Like the map by Paolo Santini also issued in Venice the same year, 1777, it too lacks the roads. There is a beautiful hand coloured title cartouche lower left. The engraver is Giuliano Zuliani (c.1730-1814) whose imprint is found below. Phillips (1909-) 650; Shirley (2004) T.Zat 1a vol. 1, no. 29; Valerio (1988).
