This is the 1872 reproduction of Vancouver’s 1798 map that was part of the British presentation in the Berlin Arbitration, concluded in 1872, that settled the boundary dispute between the United States and Britain over San Juan Island that had precipitated the Pig War of 1859. This is an example of the process of photozincography the British Ordnance office had developed and noted at bottom as "certified to be a photozinco-graphic copy."
