1796177644London.: G. Nicol. April 121796. Large format engraving 29.9 x 45 cm; 37 x 50 cm sheet trimmed to the platemark spots of browning to the image mainly affecting the sky and marginal foxing corners a little toned old paper repair affecting the caption only no loss the sheet creased at the corners and a little dusty but a strong dark impression in very good condition. Intricate and wonderfully composed engraving after a drawing by the artist William Alexander 1767-1816 prepared for the folio atlas to George Staunton's account of the Macartney Embassy to China of 1793. The engraver James Fittler 1758-1825 was appointed by George III to be his Marine Engraver. Despite the serried ranks of the Chinese noblemen attendants and the figure of the Emperor himself occupying almost the entire engraving it is the figure of Lord Macartney making an entrance stage right who steals the show. Fittler has amplified Macartney as "hero" with the dramatic use of tone: Lord Macartney is bathed in light a representative of the British Empire "on which the sun never sets". The page attending Macartney is the figure of George Staunton's son Thomas. <br>A dramatic evocation of the might of Empire. <br> <br>From the Estate of the late collector and scholar Arthur Hacker. .

1736137249J. Wood c. 1736. Rare eighteenth century hand-colored map providing plans of Kanton Shang Chwen Shan and Ma-kau being a plate extracted from Du Halde's celebrated Description Geographique the most important cartographic record of the region of the eighteenth century. In near fine condition. Double matted and framed. The entire piece measures 14 inches by 11.5 inches. Based on surveys conducted by French Jesuits at the behest of the Emperor Kang Hsiand Jean-Baptiste Du Halde's Description Geographique constitutes the first scientific mapping of China and remains the most important cartographic record of the region from the eighteenth century. Du Halde did not travel to China but collected seventeen Jesuit missionaries' reports and provided an encyclopedic survey of the history culture and society of China and "Chinese Tartary" that is Manchuria. Voltaire said of Du Halde's work: "Although it is developed out of Paris and he hath not known the Chinese he gave on the basis of the memoirs of his colleagues the widest and the best description the empire of China has had worldwide."
