Very good. One wormhole, mended. Else excellent with generous margins and a bold strike. Size 24.5 x 19.5 Inches. This is a 1775 Sayer and Bennett chart of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, compiled from an array of surveys recorded over the preceding 25 years, including the 1763-5 surveys of Captain James Cook. A Closer Look The chart covers the waters from the mouth of the St. Lawrence River in the northwest to the Strait of Belle-Isle in the northeast, and its southeastern opening into the Atlantic Ocean. It thus depicts the southern coast of Quebec from Sept-îles to Red Bay in Labrador and the west coast of Newfoundland from Green Island to the vicinity of Rencontre West. The west shores of the gulf are charted from Grande-Vallée to Cape Breton Island, detailing Chaleur Bay and the peninsula of Nova Scotia as far around as Beaver Harbour. Within the gulf are charted Anticosti Island, Prince Edward Island (here named Island of Saint John), and Cap-aux Meules (named Magdalen Islands on the chart). The chart is replete with depth soundings, shallows, fishing banks, and navigational notes. Two engraved ships illustrate the typical French routes entering and leaving the St. Lawrence River. The Sources The chart is the result of an initiative by the British Admiralty to better comprehend the coasts and waters that were awarded to Great Britain by the 1763 Treaty of Paris, following the conclusion of the French and Indian War (1754 - 1763). James Cook was promptly sent to survey these waters in April 1763, just two months after the treaty signing - although he already had some familiarity with the region, having taken part in operations against the French there during the war. Sayer and Bennett's map added Cook's surveys - mainly of Labrador and Newfoundland - to an array of preexisting British and French sources, both contemporary and prior to the French and Indian War. Publication History and Census This chart was engraved in 1775 for inclusion in Sayer and Bennett's North American Pilot , the production of which had passed to them following the death of Thomas Jefferys in 1771. The chart appeared in subsequent editions of that work, as well as copies of the American Atlas (later editions of this can be distinguished by the addition of 'Pl. No' in the upper right corner accompanying the Roman numeral appearing here; the earliest are identical to that found in the Pilot . The chart is well represented in institutional collections.
