Description from the seller

Large map on clean, thick paper; sharp print, border colored in an old-fashioned way. Verso blank. Wide margins. Engraved by G. Zuliani
According to the cartouche, the image includes present-day Anatolia, as well as Georgia, Armenia, Kurdistan, Diarbec (present-day Diyabakir region), Iraq, Syria, etc., or in other words, the Turkish Empire in Asia.
Antonio Zatta was a well-known publisher in Venice, Italy, at the end of the 17th century and the beginning of the 18th century. His most famous work is the 'Atlante novissima', a four-volume atlas with a total of 218 maps, published between 1775 and 1789. According to the cartouche, which appeared in 1784, this map is included in this atlas.
The style of Zatta's cartouches is recognizable and innovative; the allegorical figures disappear and are replaced by images of flora and fauna, often in the form of a surrounding (laurel) wreath.
