HERIOT, George - Deputy Post-Master-General of British North America · 1807 · 36 pictures

A travel narrative of the Canadas by George Heriot, deputy post-master-general of British North America, issued in London by Richard Phillips in 1807 for readers curious about the colonies and the Indian nations of the Americas. The plates are soft aquatint landscape views after Heriot's own drawings — Niagara, the St Lawrence, garrison towns, and profile coastal outlines of islands — printed in pale ochre and violet tints, useful for washed-out horizon layering, engraved plate captions, and small figures set against wide river panoramas.
