Engraved map, hand-colored in outline. 37.5x70.3 cm (14x27?") on sheet 45x79 cm (17?x31").
Rare Italian map of North America, well-engraved on thick paper, fairly up to date in terms of geographical knowledge at the time, with the discoveries of Lewis and Clark ably demonstrated.

One of them offers this description: Upper left : "Atl. Geogr."/ Upper right : "Tav. 34."/ Lower left : "G. Sasso c. M. Bonatti."/ Lower right : "incisero l' Anno 1821."/ Shows eastern Russia to western France, Arctic to northern South America, north Pacific and north Atlantic oceans.
