Inset plans of Montreal and Quebec and maps of the vicinity of Montreal and a portion of the St. Lawrence River provide additional detail on this important map. It was published in 1776 as one of the plates in William Faden's North American Atlas but was based on earlier French surveys and those made by Captain Jonathan Carver after the Treaty of Paris.

This beautifully colored plan of Quebec was first published in London by E. Oakley in January, 1759 showing the city as it existed the previous year. In October the plate was revised to include an additional inset map of the St. Lawrence River. It is this second state that we have reproduced in full color. The panel on the left contains a summary of the city's history and a legend identifying the principal buildings.

The City of Quebec sat for its portrait by many artists, but none is more handsome than this strongly colored panorama taken from the south bank of the St. Lawrence River. Beyond the profusion of steamboats, sailing ships, small craft, and rafts the city rises drama-tically above the crowded Lower Town to punctuate the skyline with spires and signal masts. This striking lithograph, reproduced from an impression in the Public Archives of Canada, was first published in London from a drawing by Captain B. Beaufoy.

These three historic engravings summarize the town planning career of Samuel de Champlain who made the drawings for his Les Voyages, published in Paris in 1613. They show his plans for a town on Ste. Croix Island off the Maine coast in 1604, his fort at Quebec constructed in 1608, and the settlement at Port Royal, Nova Scotia, established in 1605. We have printed the three plates on a single sheet together with the legends identifying existing or proposed features.
