Antonio Zatta's map of New Zealand is not only one of the first maps to show the results of Cook's voyages, but is also one of the most attractive of the islands of New Zealand. Considerable coastal detail, with reference to "Endeavour's" path, is depicted while there is little (and surmised) internal detail. A decorative title cartouche in the upper left corner shows a local scene. The map was published in Zatta's "Atlante Novissimo". With minor centrefold restoration.
