This is the northeastern sheet (with the title cartouche) of Zatta's beautifully engraved four-sheet map of Southern and Southeast Asia. Published at a time when European trade with Asia and the East Indies was rapidly increasing, the map reflects the importance of the region. Like the other three sheets, Indie IIIo. Foglio is a standalone map with its own borders and secondary title. It covers the Chinese coast south of Ningbo, I. Formosa (Taiwan), the Gulf of Tonkin and parts of Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand, and northern Luzon. While the Chinese coast is lined with place names, the interior is a vast blank filled by the title cartouche, which features a pot of incense, oyster shells with pearls, and quivers filled with arrows. The map includes mountain ranges, rivers, tiny islands, and plenty of place names. Lettering by G. Pitteri and likely engraved by G. Zuliani, who engraved most of the maps for Zatta's Atlante Novissimo. This map appeared in the fourth volume, published by Zatta and his sons.
