Handsome map of Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and the entire course of the St. Lawrence River. The most prominent feature of the map is the very large inset of the 1744 Bellin version of the Great Lakes. The large decorative cartouche, featuring a fierce beaver, makes for a very attractive map. This is the second state of the map, naming three islands in James Bay. Dated 1755, but published in 1757.

References: Kershaw #355; Pedley #459.
