[Four views of the south west coast of Nova Scotia]

Two sheets. Engraved. Physical description Note: There are indistinct and jagged margins around the printed areas. The reason for this is that HNS30 and HNS31 were both printed from the same pair of plates on which all seven views are engraved, by masking out unwanted rows. Contents Note with the following inscription which contains historical and offensive terms: The south west coast of Nova Scotia [Cape Negro and Argyle Head], The south west coast of Nova Scotia [Cape Sable and Port Haldimand], The southern Seal Isle, Boston Bay.
Lacks imprint. Printed on Bates paper. Watercolour.
