18th century Italian map of Jamaica

ZATTA, Antonio.

La Giammaica.
Venice, 1784. Original outline colour. 335 x 435mm.

An unusual map, with Jamaica printed within a ' trompe-l'oeuil ' scroll, published as an inset on Zatta's 12-sheet map of the new United States. Despite this the map still has a complete printed border; in fact the clues that this is part of a larger map are the plate number and the 'EL' of 'Mare d[el] Nord'.
