Ornament is the same as that used by G. Tiffany in other government documents, including his 1795 ed. of this broadside. Providing that the document was printed by Tiffany, it must have been issued between 1794, when he emigrated to Upper Canada (DCB V 814) and 1796, after which date the proclamation was no longer in force (Tremaine 815).
