Description
A very scarce map of the British Isles, with an inset of the Orkneys and Shetlands in a trompe-l'oeil border in the style of Antonio Zatta. It comes from a never-finished atlas by the 'Società Calcografica', a partnership of the two main Venetian publishers of the period, Zatta and Giuseppe Antonio Remondini, which probably ended with Zatta's death in 1804.
