The map of Newfoundland is also color-coded along the coast to identify areas under "American right of Fishery under Treaty of 1818" and "Conceded under Washington Treaty of 8th May 1871." Published in an 1878 Parliamentary paper regarding the Halifax Fisheries Commission. Lithographed by Harrison & Sons.
