This chart shows the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia from Cape Sable to Forked Harbour on Cape Breton. In the upper right is a portion of the Bay of Fundy. There are two perspective views of the approached to Halifax in the central left portion of the image, ‘Appearance of Chebudo Head…’ and ‘Appearance of Lighthouse Island… .’ The first post-Revolutionary American marine atlas was published in Boston by Matthew Clark in 1790. Two of these nine charts were engraved by John Norman. The noted cartographer Osgood Carleton certified the maps for accuracy. The experience encouraged Carleton and Norman to begin their own project which was published as ‘The American Pilot’ in Boston, 1791. Carleton provided the cartography, Norman engraved the plates and published the resulting work. He re-issued it in 1792 and again in 1794, essentially unaltered at which point his son William took over. William issued the atlas in 1796 and 1803 introducing two new charts.
