About this piece

A map of the Maritime provinces and the Gulf of St. Lawrence, titled "Johnson's Quebec, or the Dominion of Canada, Newfoundland, Prince Edward and Cape Breton Is.," from Johnson's New Illustrated Family Atlas of the World, published in New York by A.J. Johnson in 1872. The sheet is a color-printed map in a decorative chain-pattern border, with the page numbers 26 and 27 in the upper corners.

The map shows New Brunswick and Nova Scotia divided into counties in red, green and yellow, with Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton Island in the Gulf and Newfoundland at the right, tinted in pink and green and drawn with its deeply indented coast. The southern shore of Quebec and part of Labrador appear at the top, and a steamer track crosses the Atlantic at the lower right. Railways, towns and rivers are lettered, and the title is set at the lower right with the publisher's imprint.

The sheet records the Dominion of Canada in the 1870s, only a few years after Confederation.
