ZULIANI, G. - PITTERI G. - ZATTA, ANTONIO.
Emisfero Terrestre Settentrionale tagliato su l'Equatore.
Venezia, presso Antonio Zatta, 1774. Incisione in rame all'acquaforte, confini in colore d'epoca cm 33 x 42,8 circa (alla lastra) più margini. Rappresentazione dell'emisfero terrestre settentrionale, incisa e preparata dallo Zuliani e dal Pitteri e edita dallo Zatta. Come si dice nella lunga didascalia esplicativa al margine inferiore, nel redigere la carta e nel far riferimento alle “terre Antartiche, “in cui fin ora la Geografia non ha il minimo fondamento” si è fatto riferimento alle “più probabili congeture adottando il sistema proposto dal Sig.r Robeto de Vaugundy”. É interessante come nella carta siano rappresentate le principali montuosità, con tratteggio da destra a sinistra. Esemplare in margini, in bella coloritura e in buono stato di conservazione.
