Matched pair of decorative steel engraved maps showing all of what was then called East and West Canada. Both maps are surrounded by fancy engraved borders. The former (12.6 x 10") covers the region of present-day Ontario and includes uncolored vignettes of Niagara Falls, an Indian encampment, Indians hunting bison, and river otters. The latter (13.4 x 10.3") is a fine map of the St. Lawrence River and New Brunswick. Two large and finely engraved vignettes: a group of North American Indians; and a lovely view of Quebec with numerous sailing ships and boats in the foreground. A third smaller vignette shows a bison.
