This is a handsome map of Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and the entire course of the St. Lawrence River. The most prominent feature of the map is the very large inset of the 1744 Bellin version of the Great Lakes. The wonderful cartouche features the title on a blanket draped over a wooden canoe, which appears beside a threatening beaver. According to Kershaw and Pedley, this is the fourth state of the map with the original engraver's name (Haussard) removed from the cartouche and "Groux" added.
