Additional Information Following its establishment, in 1791, Upper Canada became one of the primary destinations for loyalist Americans after the conclusion of the American Revolution. This region was formerly integrated into Quebec in 1763 and remained under British Colonial rule. It included all of modern-day Ontario and watersheds of Lake Superior, Lake Huron, and the Ottawa River. With the signing of the Paris Peace Treaty in 1783, Americans had gained independence from Colonial rule, and loyalists were able to receive substantial land grants in Upper Canada to establish new settlements and communities. The newly formed province retained a traditional British way of life and governance, including a bicameral parliament. American forces unsuccessfully attempted to invade Upper Canada in the War of 1812. This map was produced by noted British cartographer and publisher James Wyld who was Royal Geographer to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. During the early portions of the nineteenth century, Upper Canada was attracting thousands of immigrants looking to escape civil unrest and drought in Ireland and across Europe. Only five years after this publication, Upper Canada was joined with Lower Canada to the east to form the Province of Canada. Wyld was one of the most prolific cartographers of the nineteenth century, and his works bear a classic aesthetic coupled with remarkable detail, accuracy, and ornate flourishes. This works distinctive style immediately transports the viewer back in time, creating an indelible bond between the past and present, and is truly an authentic piece of Canadian cartographical history.
