BOUCHETTE, Joseph. Map of the Provinces of Canada, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and Prince Edward Island with a Large Section of the United States and Exhibiting the Boundary of the British Dominions in North America (portion), According to the Treaties of Sherman & Smith, New-York, 1853. 1200 x 2225 mm. Map dissected into 6 folding sheets mounted on canvas of 6 sections each. Slightly browned and dusty. The edition published in New York in 1853; the first edition appeared in 1846. Winearls mentions two subsequent editions of the map, in 1852 and 1853. The map was engraved and printed in New York by Sherman and Smith, rather than in London by J. & C. Walker and James Wyld, as was the case for the 1831 edition. This map is an extensive revision and redrawing of Bouchette's 1831 map of Upper and Lower Canada, both on the same scale. The map is extended eastward to include all of Nova Scotia and northward to include Anticosti Island. New inset maps of the Environs of Montreal, Lake Superior, and the Niagara District are added, and the other insets of Newfoundland and British North America are thoroughly revised. The changes to the U.S./Canadian boundaries in Oregon (1846) and Maine (1842) are shown, as are the first three short Canadian railways (compared to the large number underway in the U.S.). In addition, there are many other revisions to the main map, well documented by Winearls. Copyrights are given for Canada and New York. This is the second large Canadian map drawn by Canadians that was engraved in America, after the map of the Canadas by David Taylor, 1834. (David Rumsey Map Collection).
