Discover New Brunswick - one of Canada's three Maritime provinces where dramatic coastal landscapes meet rich Acadian heritage and warm Maritime hospitality. Founded in 1784, New Brunswick is Canada's only officially bilingual province, celebrated for its stunning Bay of Fundy tides, covered bridges, and fresh seafood. As you piece together this puzzle, you'll spot the iconic Hopewell Rocks, massive flowerpot-shaped rock formations carved by the world's highest tides in the Bay of Fundy, where visitors walk on the ocean floor at low tide among the towering rocks and return just hours later at high tide to kayak around the same formations—experiencing a dramatic 16-metre tidal difference, the highest in the world.

You'll also uncover the Hartland Covered Bridge National Historic Site of Canada, the world's longest covered bridge spanning 391 metres across the Saint John River since 1901. The puzzle captures the striking Head Harbour Lightstation, also known as the East Quoddy Head Light, a red and white lighthouse standing sentinel on Campobello Island guiding mariners through the powerful Bay of Fundy waters, and Magnetic Hill, one of Canada's most famous natural attractions where cars appear to roll uphill defying gravity.

You'll find the World's Largest Lobster monument in Shediac, New Brunswick, a massive 90-tonne sculpture celebrating the province's title as the Lobster Capital of the World and its thriving seafood industry. The puzzle showcases Fredericton City Hall, the beautiful historic building in the provincial capital, a historic church with stunning stained glass windows reflecting the province's rich religious heritage, vibrant pink and orange flowers that bloom throughout the Maritime summer, and visitors exploring the Hopewell Rocks at low tide, marveling at the dramatic tidal transformation.

The colourful sunrise over the Bay of Fundy at Hopewell Rocks paints the sky in brilliant hues, while the lush greenery atop the rock formations creates a unique ecosystem. New Brunswick is best experienced during the summer months when the weather is warm, lobster season is in full swing, and the tides of the Bay of Fundy create spectacular displays, or in autumn when the fall foliage paints the province in brilliant colours.

This Maritime gem represents the perfect blend of natural wonder and cultural heritage, where visitors can walk among the Hopewell Rocks at low tide in the morning and witness the dramatic 16-metre tidal change, experience the optical illusion of Magnetic Hill, drive through the historic Hartland Covered Bridge, climb the Head Harbour Lightstation for panoramic ocean views, photograph the World's Largest Lobster in Shediac, explore Fredericton City Hall, and watch the sunrise over the Bay of Fundy. Whether you're drawn to the dramatic Hopewell Rocks and their record-breaking tides, the historic Hartland Covered Bridge, the iconic East Quoddy Head Light, the mysterious Magnetic Hill, the World's Largest Lobster, Fredericton City Hall, or the stunning Bay of Fundy sunrises, New Brunswick embodies the natural beauty and cultural richness of Canada's east coast.

Care Instructions

It's important that you should care for your fine art prints just as you would any delicate and valuable artwork. With proper handling, your prints will remain in pristine condition for many years to come.

Follow these recommendations:

Handling
Natural skin oils or other contaminants can easily transfer to the print. As a preventative measure, we recommend washing your hands before touching the print. Use both hands and support the back of the print when picking it up.
Never attempt to rub the surface of the image with your finger or fingernail as this could scratch the surface of the print.

Exposure to Elements
Keep your print out of direct sunlight. Even the best quality materials are subject to cracking or fading if exposed to prolonged periods of sunlight. Although normal incandescent light bulbs do not present a problem, fluorescent lights do emit harmful ultraviolet rays.
Hang your print away from areas where airborne grime, dust and pollutants such as cigarette smoke can leave a discolouring residue.
Avoid extreme fluctuations in moisture and temperature. Excessive fluctuations between dryness and humidity, or extreme heat and cold can negatively affect the state of your print. Museums keep the temperature generally around 18 degrees Celsius and a relative humidity of 40%. If the humidity is too high, be on the lookout for mold.

Framing
When framing your print use a good quality glass specifically designed for protecting fine art and photographic images. We also recommend using an acid-free archival mat to prevent the print and glass from touching. Like many artworks, an original is sensitive to light. Please ensure that your framer uses UV resistant/museum glass when framing. This glass will protect the artwork against direct or indirect light for years to come.

Storage
To prevent accidents, store your print away from anything that might press against the image surface. Some objects may not seem sharp enough to damage the print, but you'd be surprised at what will cause a scratch, a tear, or a rip.
Do not stack prints on top of each other. Separate them with pieces of acid-free paper to avoid damage.
Wrap your print well if you plan to transport it. Be sure to put a piece of acid-free paper over the front to protect the print. Rough handling can damage the print so pack it securely.
Do not cover your print with plastic for long periods of time. If there is humidity in the air, the mold may begin to grow. Cotton, acid-free sheets are the best for keeping dust away.

Cleaning
The print should be dusted with a clean, soft rag, to prevent dust buildup. Never use cleaning products or water as this may permanently damage the print.
Do not blow on your print as you may inadvertently deposit water droplets that can mark your print.
If using compressed air, apply short bursts while keeping the nozzle at least 12" back from the face of the print.
