    This is a superb map of the western coast of North America from the Baja Peninsula, along the coast of California to Alaska and thence to the Bering Strait and the Kamchatka Peninsula. It includes parts of the Great Lakes as well. The map presents an interesting array of hypothetical cartography. The northwest coast of North America is filled with the fictitious system of rivers and lakes of the Northwest Passage that were supposedly discovered by Admiral de Fonte. In addition to those wide passages that connect Hudson Bay with the Pacific, two rivers provide possibilities for the legendary River of the West theories. Alaska is represented by a group of islands clustered off the coast of Russia. There is a notation of the legendary Chinese colony of Fou-Sang in the general vicinity of Vancouver Island. The pictorial title cartouche includes several incongruent animals - a crocodile, an elephant, a rhinoceros and an ostrich. The map was issued in Zatta's Atlante Novissimo..., a monumental 4 volume work and one of the last great decorative atlases.
