Zuliani in 1785, this piece is part of the renowned "New Atlas" series. The image takes us back to the colonial era, offering a glimpse into the cartography and geography of Latin America during that time. The map encompasses regions such as Central America, Mexico, and parts of the United States.

The intricate details on this print highlight not only geographical features but also mythological figures associated with pagan religions prevalent in those times.

Published in Venice in 1782 by Antonio Zatta, this particular engraving offers insight into how Europeans perceived and mapped out their newly discovered territories across the Atlantic.
