Nice map with a decorative rococo-style cartouche. It shows in good detail Prince Edward Island, here called Isle Saint Jean, covers all of Nova Scotia including Cape Breton, and locates numerous banks south of Nova Scotia. This map cartographically matches the third state, however the "37" remains engraved at bottom right as in the second state.

References: Kershaw #785-86.
