PARIS. Action de F100. green. #5000. No 3891. A few small tears (repaired). Large square format, with great view (engraving by Ch. Crabbe) of fishing-vessels sailing out of a harbour, presumably in Newfoundland. French fishermen have worked the Grand Banks cod-fisheries for centuries. They were very probably in the area, along with Basque and English fishermen, before Columbus' famous voyage, and it is not impossible that they saw, or even, landed on part of the American continent. Very attractive and rare franco-canadian share.
