Description: A facsimile of a portion of the map of the Baccalaos region (Newfoundland and Nova Scotia) by Hieronymus Verrazano in 1529. The map shows C. de Bretton (Cape Breton), C. Raso (Cape Race), and Backaliaio (Bonavista). As with other maps of this time, the passages to the north and south of Newfoundland are not shown, and appear to be connected to the mainland.
