This detailed map illustrates the region between Moscow, Kostroma and Volgograd. Political boundaries, towns, rivers and mountains are well depicted. Engraved by G. Pitteri.

Antonio Zatta was one of the leading Italian cartographers and publishers of the time, and his Atlante Novissimo was one of the most beautifully produced 18th century atlases. He drew on the work of contemporary cartographers including Robert de Vaugondy and Bellin, and developed his own distinctive elegant style.
