IMAGE INFORMATION
The wigwam is quite inaccurate. The Mi'kmaq figures and canoe are taken from the watercolour by H. N. Binney. The view of Halifax across the harbour is taken from a nineteenth-century work by Robert Petley. Note the beginnings of human figures in the lower right corner, also taken from the same Binney watercolour. Binney and Petley seem to have been the two most frequently copied artists in nineteenth-century Nova Scotia.
