About this piece

Eastern Canada before Confederation, an original engraved map titled "New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and part of Canada East", published by Blackie & Son of Glasgow, Edinburgh and London, about 1860. Provincial boundaries are colored by hand, and the sheet carries a plate number at the upper right.

The map covers the Maritime Provinces and the southern part of what is now Quebec, with the Gulf of St. Lawrence spreading across the upper right. New Brunswick is outlined in pink, Nova Scotia in blue and Prince Edward Island in orange, and the lettered coasts show Cape Breton Island and the Bay of Fundy, with Anticosti Island and the Magdalen Islands out in the Gulf. At the left, a corner of the map shows the neighboring state of Maine, and a list of counties of Canada East is printed in the lower left margin. A note directs the reader to a separate sheet for Canada West.

Drawn about seven years before Confederation in 1867, the sheet shows New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island as separate colonies, with Canada East as the eastern half of the united Province of Canada.
