About this piece

New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and part of Canada East, from The Imperial Atlas of Modern Geography, published by W. G. Blackie in 1859. The sheet is an engraved map with original hand color, the colonies each in their own outline color.

The map covers the Maritime colonies as they stood in the mid-nineteenth century: New Brunswick at the center, the peninsula of Nova Scotia with Cape Breton Island, and Prince Edward Island, all set around the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The Gaspe peninsula and the lower St. Lawrence of Canada East appear at upper left, with part of the state of Maine beside New Brunswick, and the Magdalen Islands and a corner of Newfoundland are shown in the gulf. Towns, roads, rivers and a long, finely cut coastline with bays and inlets are all lettered. A list of the counties of Canada East is printed at lower left, with the title and a note referring to a companion sheet at lower right.

The sheet predates Confederation: New Brunswick and Nova Scotia were still separate colonies, and Prince Edward Island did not join Canada until 1873.
