## About Antonio Zatta

Antonio Zatta was an Italian cartographer, typographer, and publisher associated with Venice and active during the second half of the eighteenth century. Authority records commonly identify him as 1722–1804, although some library records give 1730 as his birth year or describe him only as active from about 1757 to 1797. Collectors most often encounter Zatta's name on printed maps, atlas material, and illustrated publications issued through his publishing activity. His best-known large project is Atlante Novissimo, described in the collected sources as a four-volume atlas of the world. He is also associated with an illustrated study of St Mark's Basilica published in 1761. Zatta belongs to the commercial mapmaking and print culture of eighteenth-century Venice rather than to a modern fine-art movement. His identity is therefore especially relevant when cataloguing maps, atlas sheets, bound volumes, and architectural publications that retain his name or imprint.

## Common works and media

Commonly encountered works include printed maps, separate atlas sheets, bound atlas volumes, and illustrated publications. Atlante Novissimo is the principal named atlas in the collected sources, while the documented 1761 study of St Mark's Basilica represents Zatta's architectural publishing activity. Attribution should distinguish a publication bearing Zatta's imprint from the work of individual designers, draftsmen, or printmakers who may have contributed to it.

## Market and appraisal context

Antonio Zatta material appears in auction contexts principally as cartographic and book-related material. Appraisily's public artist page reports an aggregate body of auction records, but the supplied source pack does not expose individual lot descriptions, estimates, realized prices, or sale dates. Appraisal should begin by determining whether an object is a loose map, a sheet from an atlas, a bound atlas, or another illustrated publication, followed by identification of its title, date, imprint, format, and completeness. Condition, coloring, restoration, margins, binding, and provenance may require object-specific examination, but their effects cannot be ranked from the available evidence. Comparable public sales should match the publication and physical form as closely as possible.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. For Antonio Zatta, the present source pack supports identity and publication context more strongly than detailed market analysis.
