Description
"Il Maryland, Il Jersey Meridionale, la Delaware, e la parte orientale della Virginia, e Carolina Set" Excellent colonial map of the Southern British Colonies, extending from Philadelphia and the Delaware Bay in the Northeast, to Cape Lookout, Beaufort and the Welsh Settlement in South Carolina in the Southeast and extending West to show all of the Allegheny Mountains and a large portion of the Ohio River, based upon the seminal work of John Mitchell.
Zatta's map, while issued separately as part of Zatta's Atlante Novissimo, is actually one of 12 sections comprising the Italian edition of Mitchell's map of North America. The Italian edition is richly illustrated with annotations not found on the English edition of the Mitchell. The map's scale is identical to the Mitchell.
John Mitchell's map of North America was the single most important American map of the 18th Century and is the foundation for virtually all boundary disputes and treaties beginning with the French & Indian War. It was drawn from the first available English and indigenous surveys and includes remarkable detail regarding towns, roads, rivers, mountains and other regional features.
