This two-part map elaborates on navigational hazards in the St. Lawrence River. The main map, the continuation from Quebec to Lake Ontario, and the inset of "The Traverse or Passage from Cape Torment into the South Channel of Orleans Isle" are each adorned with fine, decorative cartouches. Additional insets of the Bay of Seven Islands and Lake Champlain have their own compass roses. This example, with the imprint of A. Bell, is similar to the one published the same year with the imprint of Thomas Kitchin.

References: Jolly SCOT-23.

Condition: B+

A clear impression on a sheet with some faint offsetting. Top margin with some stains, well away from the map.
