L’Ile de Terre-Neuve, l’Acadie ou la Nouvelle Ecosse, l’Ile St. Jean et la Partie Orientale du Canada
Before the Maritimes were Canadian, French cartographers were still drawing them as Acadie. This Rigobert Bonne engraving from 1780 shows Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Ile St. Jean (now Prince Edward Island), and the eastern reaches of Canada alongside the New England coast, made when Bonne held the post of Royal Cartographer to France and the Gulf of St. Lawrence was still contested ground.
Produced for the atlas accompanying Abbe Guillaume Thomas Raynal’s history of European commerce and colonies.
