Maps and Pictures 



1758 



EVANS, LEWIS. A general map of the middle British colonies in 1758 

 America; . . . carefully copied from the original published at Phila- Evans 

 delphia in 1755, with some additions by J. Gibson. 



This map showing " Ochniagara Falls " was published in London in 

 1758 by Jefferys from the edition of 1755. 



HARREVELT, E VAN. Wasserfall von Niagara. 7x10. (In 1753 



his Allgemeine histoire des reisen zu wasser und lande. Leipzig. Arkstee Harreveh 

 und Merku. 1758. 16:684.) 



Opposite page 680 is a " Karte von den Seen in Canada, von M. B." 

 which indicates Niagara, and on pages 683-685 is a description. In the 

 Hennepin view given with this map, the view of the Falls is reversed, the 

 trees are smaller, and the little dog is missing.

" Fall of Niagara." 



1760 



Davies, Thomas. An east view of the great cataract of Niagara. 1760 

 Engraved on copper by J. Foregeron. 1 760. Davies 



" To his Excellency Lieut. Gen. Sir Jeffrey Amherst, Knight of the 

 Most honourable order of the Bath. . . ." 



" Drawn on the spot by Thomas Davies, Capt. Lieut. Royal Reg't of 

 Artillery." 



This peculiar view shows a little of the Canadian rapids, both islands, 

 the whole of both Falls and a rainbow like a cartwheel. The river below 

 the Falls is like a pond and on the left are two savages painting. With 

 all its crudities, the drawing comes nearer the real Niagara than the 

 Hennepin view which preceded it.
