This rare pictorial map highlighting the attractions of Prince Edward Island was designed by Arthur W. Wallace. The map's unique design shows the island itself at bottom, with roads, railways, rivers, bays, harbors, points, and some architectural illustrations, while the top part of the sheet is dominated by larger and more intricate renderings of Charlottetown, Summerside, Georgetown, Montague, and Souris. The island is surrounded by 8 historical vignettes. The map is flanked on three sides by further information, much of it keyed to the map's grid. Produced and published by Karl A. Steeves, who also put out similar souvenir maps of Halifax and Saint John. Folds into stiff paper covers (4.5 x 7.8") with an alternate title: Illustrated Plan and Souvenir of Prince Edward Island.
