Lovely early 19th century map centered on the Gulf of St. Laurence. Prince Edward Island is still named St. John's Island. The important fishing banks including Sable, Green, Whale, the Banquerrea, and the Great Bank of Newfoundland are located. Precisely engraved and finished with original pastel coloring. A pair of distance scales and a simple, oval title cartouche decorate the map.
