This is the first state of this map depicting Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and the entire course of the St. Lawrence River. It includes a very large inset of the 1744 Bellin version of the Great Lakes. The large decorative cartouche features a beaver. The first state is identifiable by the fact that only "Danby" and "Red I." appear in James Bay and "Ft. de la Presque Isle" is engraved perpendicular to the shore of Lake Erie. Ref: Kershaw #354; Pedley #459. Very fine impression and original color.
