This attractive map of the Gulf of St. Laurence is based on Bellin's definitive map of 1744. It is very detailed with hundreds of place names, especially along the coastlines. The major fishing banks are well delineated. There is a large decorative title cartouche and compass rose at bottom right. This is the first state with "No. 95" at the bottom right.
