Second State. "Derived from the famous map made by de Champlain. The North East coast of Labrador is improved Greatly. The decorative cartouches are in the classical style of the 17th century Dutch atlas but combined with the traditional Putti with a cut fish motive and fishermen, illustrating the rich resources of Maritime Canada." -Kershaw
