About this piece

Eastern Canada, an original map from the 1882 Blackie atlas, published by Blackie & Son. The title "Canada. The Provinces of Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland." is engraved at the lower right, and the plate number 50 is printed in the upper right corner.

The map is centered on the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The river valley runs from the upper left, with the southern part of Quebec colored in orange and pink, New Brunswick in pink and Nova Scotia in green, while Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton lie out in the gulf. Anticosti and the Magdalen Islands are marked, and the coast of Newfoundland appears at the upper right and again in a larger inset at the lower right. A table of counties of Quebec is printed at the lower left. Railways, towns and rivers are drawn in fine detail, and the relief is shown by hachures.

Maps of this type were made for the education and commerce of the 1880s, when the Intercolonial and other railways were linking the Atlantic provinces to the rest of the Dominion.
