'Lake St. Peters, St Laurence' [Lake St Peter, Ontario, Canada]

Mounted with ZBA4888 and ZBA4890 on page 20 of Fanshawe's West Indies, North American and Borneo scrapbook (ZBA4855).

Lithograph presumably depicting Lake St Peter, which is a small lake in Ontario, Canada, near Hastings Highlands. The slightly curious element is the inclusion of a small square-rigged ship with all sail set to the royals and studding sails, seen head-on, though this is more explicable if - as the title suggests - it is linked to the St Lawrence River. See summary of Fanshawe's known American movements with ZBA4856: he took his flagship 'Royal Alfred' to Quebec one summer while C-in-C North America and West Indies, and toured the area, but the exact date remains to be clarified.
