Description

Fine steel engraving by A. H. Payne after artist C. Graham.

Fascinating early view of Hong Kong with a variety of ships in the harbor. In the foreground to the right are Chinese people on pleasure boats and junks. In the middle is a paddle steamer, a large trading junk and an East Indiaman. In the distance are the new buildings below the Peak on Hong Kong Island.

Published by Brain & Payne in 1847, only 5 years after Hong Kong was secured by the British after the Opium War of 1842 and the subsequent Treaty of Nanking.

Engraved for d'Anville's Nouvel Atlas de la Chine, de la Tartarie Chinoise et du Thibet, depicting Qing Dynasty China, this map shows the area from the Selingue Pira (Selenga River) east to the route from Beijing (Peking) to Niptchou (Nerchinsk), encompassing the Left Flank Khalkha Mongol khanates.
