[GUANGZHOU - ANTIQUE PRINT]
Mr. Consul Parkes bidding adieu to the old Co-Hong Mandarins and view from the Dutch Folly Fort from the Pearl River Canton.
London.: Illustrated London News. February 211857. Two half-page engravings 15 x 23 cms on a single newspaper leaf complete descriptive text for each engraving overleaf scant spotting and edge-wear but in very good condition. Two engravings published during the months prior to the attack on and four year occupation of Canton Guangzhou by allied British and French troops during the time of the Second Opium War. The commentary for the farewell by the English Consul Harry Parkes to the Mandarins "Howqua Mowqua Kinqua &c." below is markedly milder than contemporary Parliamentary reports of his actions effectively escalating tensions with the Chinese: <br>"Since the sketch was made the Chinese seem to have discovered the inutility of bringing the matter to a close by negotiations and that the Admiral is determined to be as obstinate in his firmness as the Chinese Commissioner is firm in his obstinacy." <br> <br>From the Estate of the late collector and scholar Arthur Hacker with his pencilled catalogue note. .
