An exceptionally beautiful example of John Cary’s important 1807 map of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland.  Covers the Maritime Provinces from New Brunswick and the Mouth of the St. Lawrence eastward as far as Newfoundland.   Shows many of the offshore Cod Fishing Banks that made this area an important fishing center for hundreds of years.  All in all, one of the most interesting and attractive atlas maps of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland to appear in first years of the 19th century.  Prepared in 1807 by John Cary for issue in his magnificent 1808  New Universal Atlas .
