Decorative 19th-Century Map of West Canada with Niagara Falls and Indigenous Scenes
This detailed 19th-century map of West Canada, drawn and engraved by J. Rapkin and published by J
F Tallis, features finely hand-colored borders and intricate depictions of major settlements, roads, and waterways, including Lake Ontario and Lake Erie. The map highlights the regions of Southern Ontario during a period of significant development and growth.
Surrounding the map are stunning vignettes illustrated by H. Warren and engraved by J. H. Rogers. These include a scenic view of Niagara Falls, a depiction of Indigenous peoples in traditional settings, and other natural and cultural elements that add depth and historical context to the map.
