By an 1803 Act of Ohio the sufferers were incorporated as "The proprietors of the half million acres of land lying south of Lake Erie called 'Sufferers' Land'." The Act required management of the Company by a Board of Directors. The Board was to locate and survey the granted land and to partition it among the different claimants.

RARITA’ CARTOGRAFICA Sconosciuta piccola carta geografica con imprint di Giacomo Zatta e data 1794, appartenente a un non documentato atlante in miniatura dal titolo “Atlante tascabile per le dame”, suddiviso in tre tomi, stampati “IN VENETIA Presso G. Zatta”, senza data ma circa 1795. Si tratta di carte da visita – con un apposito spazio bianco dove apporre il proprio nome – dove compare l’imprint o di Pietro Zancon (accompagnato dalla data 1794) o di Giacomo Zatta (con data 1794 o 1795), che, come si legge sul frontespizio, risulta l’editore dell’opera. Possiamo ipotizzare che la serie, iniziata da Zancon fu poi terminata dallo Zatta. Sulla carta dell’Italia – presumibilmente la prima tavola dell’opera – compare stampato il nome di Chiara Minelli Rota, nobildonna veneziana che sposò Antonio Rota nel 1794; tutte le restanti 65 carte recano lo spazio bianco privo di nome. In precedenza, le carte erano note solo attraverso una serie, priva di imprint editoriale, venduta 21 anni fa (1999) dall’Antiquariaat Haas di Bedburg Hau; parlando con Stephan Haas, la serie, priva di titolo e dati editoriali si componeva di 70 mappe. Le carte furono vendute separatamente sotto il nome di G. Bonatti, firma dell’incisore che si trova nella carta della Francia. In seguito, le tavole furono attribuite a Pietro Zaricen da Geoffrey King (cfr. Miniature Antique Maps, p. 181). Il nome dello Zaricen viene dedotto dalla carta della contea del Roussillon, che reca l’iscrizione “Venezia 1794 App.o P. Zancon”, letto erroneamente come Zaricen. Lajos Szantai include la carta dell’Ungheria nella sua cartobibliografia, traducendo il nome dell’autore in Zancen (cfr. Atlas Hungaricus 1528-1850). Sempre King, che non menziona nessuna carta firmata da Zatta, sostiene che “About the turn of the century a signed card of the first edition, with a map of the province of Roussillon in the south of France, was seen at an Ephemera Society Fair in London”. Questo esemplare sembrerebbe oggi quello conservato alla Yale University Library [1978 351], che lo descrive composto da 70 carte geografiche. Non sappiamo se sia il numero totale delle mappe, e l’assenza di un indice o dell’elenco non consente di stabilire l’esatto numero delle carte che lo compongono. http://hdl.handle.net/10079/bibid/3611852Confrontando le carte erroneamente attribuite allo Zaricen ci si accorge che la lastra è abrasa in corrispondenza della firma di Zancon o Zatta. Molto scarse sono le notizie sulle carte che possiamo ora definire “ex Zaricen”. Jason Hubbard nella sua bibliografia recente sulle carte del Giappone raffigura la carta priva dell’imprint “App.o G. Zatta” attribuendola - sulla base delle informazioni bibliografiche finora note – a Giuseppe Bonatti e Pietro Zaricen: “This is one of the 70-odd geographical cards, printed on one side only, acquired by the Haas brothers in 1999. The cards cover countries around the world and include detailed map of Italian provinces. The card with the map of France carries the inscription: G. Bonatti fece; and it is presumed that Bonatti engraved all of them although this is questioned by King” (cfr. J. Hubbard, Japoniae Insulae, n. 124). Il nostro esemplare della carta della Francia, che reca l’imprint “Venezia 1794, App.o P. Zancon” reca in basso a destra la firma di Bonatti sopra menzionata. Dunque, l’unica differenza tra questa serie di sconosciute carte sembra essere la presenza degli imprint editoriali di Zancon e Zatta, accompagnati dalla data 1794 o 1795. Giuseppe Bonatti è menzionato da V. Valerio nella qualità di incisore cresciuto alla scuola Remondini di Bassano, autore di alcune carte per l’atlante di Pazzini Carli (Siena, 1788-1800) e per l’Atlante Geografico di Carlo Antonio Barbiellini (Milano, 1807). Dal 1809 in poi lavorò come incisore per il Deposito della Guerra di Milano (cfr. V. Valerio, Cartografi Veneti, p. 153). Pietro Zancon era, assieme ... A GREAT RARITY Unknown small map with imprint by Giacomo Zatta and date 1794, belonging to an undocumented miniature atlas entitled “Atlante tascabile per le dame” (Pocket Atlas for ladies), divided into three volumes, printed "IN VENETIA Presso G. Zatta", undated but about 1795. A rare set of visiting cards published in Italy features pretty little maps of all parts of the world - with a special white space where to put your name - where the imprint appears or of Pietro Zancon (accompanied by the date 1794) or Giacomo Zatta (with the date 1794 or 1795), who, as can be read on the title page, is the publisher of the whole Atlas. We can speculate that the series, started by Zancon was later terminated by Zatta. On the map of Italy is printed - presumably the first map of the work - the name of Chiara Minelli Rota, Venetian noblewoman who married Antonio Rota in 1794; all remaining 65 maps bear the blank space without names. Previously, the maps were known only through a series, without editorial imprint, sold 21 years ago (1999) by the Antiquariaat Haas of Bedburg Hau; speaking with Stephan Haas, the series, without title and printing details, consisted of 70 maps. The maps were sold separately under the name of G. Bonatti, the engraver's signature found on the map of France. Later, the plates were attributed to Pietro Zaricen by Geoffrey King (see Miniature Antique Maps, p. 181). The name of Zaricen is derived from the Roussillon county map, which bears the inscription "Venice 1794 App.o P. Zancon", incorrectly read as Zaricen. Lajos Szantai includes the map of Hungary in his cartobibliography, translating the author's name into Zancen (see Atlas Hungaricus 1528-1850). Always King, who does not mention any map signed by Zatta, said: "About the turn of the century a signed card of the first edition, with a map of the province of Roussillon in the south of France, was seen at an Ephemera Society Fair in London ". This copy would seem to be the one preserved in the Yale University Library [call number 1978 351], which describes it as being composed of 70 maps. We do not know if it is the total number of maps, and the absence of an index or list does not allow to establish the exact number of maps. http://hdl.handle.net/10079/bibid/3611852 Comparing the maps erroneously attributed to Zaricen one realizes that the plate is erased in correspondence with the signature of Zancon or Zatta. There are very little information on the maps, that we can now define as "ex Zaricen". Jason Hubbard in his recent bibliography on the maps of Japan depicts the map without the imprint "App.o G. Zatta" attributing it - on the basis of the bibliographic information so far known - to Giuseppe Bonatti and Pietro Zaricen: “This is one of the 70-odd geographical cards, printed on one side only, acquired by the Haas brothers in 1999. The cards cover countries around the world and include detailed map of Italian provinces. The card with the map of France carries the inscription: G. Bonatti fece; and it is presumed that Bonatti engraved all of them although this is questioned by King” (cf. J. Hubbard, Japoniae Insulae, n. 124). Our copy of the map of France, which bears the imprint "Venice 1794, App.o P. Zancon", also shows the signature of Bonatti mentioned at the bottom right. Therefore, the only difference between this series of unknown maps seems to be the presence of the addresses of Zancon and Zatta, accompanied by the date 1794 or 1795. Giuseppe Bonatti is mentioned by V. Valerio as an engraver raised at the Remondini school in Bassano, author of some maps for the atlas of Pazzini Carli (Siena, 1788-1800) and for the geographical atlas of Carlo Antonio Barbiellini (Milan, 1807). From 1809 onwards he worked as an engraver for the Milan Deposito della Guerra (see V. Valerio, Cartografi Veneti, p. 153). Pietro Zancon was, together with the most famous brother Gaetano, a native engraver of Bassano del Grappa, who grew up at the Remondini prin...
