Isaac Weld, Jr. “Canadian Calash or Marche Donc.”
From I. Weld, Jr. Travels through the states of North America...during 1795, 1796 and 1797. London: John Stockdale, [1799]. 6 ¾ x 9 (image). Engraving by J.B. Drayton. Vertical fold as issued. Fine condition.
A charming and unusual view from an early scenic history of America. This print shows with fine detail a method of transportation used in Canada that was no doubt borrowed from earlier French citizens of this area of the United States. A delightful and early view of upstate New York and its Canadian border.
