About this piece

Canada East and New Brunswick, an original steel-engraved decorative map from a Tallis atlas of the 1850s, drawn and engraved by J. Rapkin and published by J. & F. Tallis, London, Edinburgh and Dublin. The illustrations are credited to H. Warren and engraved by J. H. Rogers.

The map covers Lower Canada along the St. Lawrence, the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the province of New Brunswick, with counties outlined in color, the wide river drawn from its upper reaches to the gulf, and towns, roads and rivers lettered throughout. At the upper left a view of Quebec shows the city on its cliff above the river, with sailing ships and rowing boats in the foreground. At the lower center a group of North American Indians sits on a rock, and a bison stands at the lower right. A decorative scrolled border encloses the sheet and the title is set at the top.

The pairing of Lower Canada and New Brunswick gives the whole of the Maritime approach to the St. Lawrence at mid-century, the line of the river by which settlers, lumber and goods moved.
