When he was thirty, Smyth was hired to be the drawing-master of the three daughters of the Earl of Durham, the Governor General of British North America, who is this book's dedicatee. While the Earl of Durham was on his mission to the Canadas, likely from May to November of 1838, Smyth drew his impressions of nineteenth-century Canadian life and its landscape. The 23 plates after his sketches depict First Nations peoples such as the Huron who lived on the St. Lawrence River; scenes of hunting buffalo and moose; the ports of Montreal and Toronto; the American fort on the Niagara; war scenes; waterfalls; city-views of Quebec; and a scene of Native blanket-trading.
