[Portrait of Chinese mandarin Hesing (Xi Sheng).] Sept 12th 1848. Keying. Hesing.
Scarce wood engraved portrait, signed and dated in ink mss, in both Roman and Chinese characters, with two Chinese stamps in red ink. 190 x 125mm (7½ x 5"). Laid on album paper, some staining.
A signed portrait of a Chinese mandarin who travelled aboard the 'Keying', a three-masted junk purchased in secrecy by British businessmen in Hong Kong, defying a Chinese law prohibiting the sale of Chinese ships to foreigners. She left Hong Kong in December 1846, rounding the Cape of Good Hope and becoming the first junk to visit New York in July 1847. Keying left for Britain in February and, despite being damaged in a storm, made the crossing in 21 days, a short period even for the American packet-ships. This portrait was published as a souvenir of the visit of the Keying to London, where it was visited by Queen Victoria.

HMS Melampus escorting Sir John Davis the Governor of Hong Kong on his Departure from England [mss. caption in pencil].
[n.d., c.1848.]
Original pencil sketch 218 x 135mm glued into scrap album sheet c.435 x 280mm. Lightly soiled.
View of three British ships with Hong Kong in the background, probably drawn by a former British government official in Hong Kong, and forebear of the compiler of the album from which this sheet has been extracted - one G.S. Windham. Sir John Francis Davis, 1st Baronet KCB (1795 - 1890) was the 2nd Governor of Hong Kong. During his tenure, Davis was very much hated amongst Hong Kong residents and British merchants during his administration because of the establishment of various taxes, which increased the burden of all citizens, and his abrasive treatment of his subordinates. On a much lighter note, weekend racing began during his tenure, which gradually evolved as a Hong Kong institution. Also, during his tenure, Davis organized the first Hong Kong Census, and it indicated that at that time, there were 23,988 people living in Hong Kong. On 21st March 1848, his row with the local British merchants increased, and Davis resigned his commission and left Hong Kong. Also glued to scrap sheet are two steel engravings of Folkestone and watercolour sketches of a castle by a lake and flowers. Includes also a postcard and 'Lettercard' of eight bound views of Canterbury addressed to his descendent postmarked 1918. HMS Melampus: A mid-Victorian RN Vessel. Commanded by Captain John Norman Campbell, south-east coast of America, then East Indies (until Campbell invalided himself at Bombay at the end of 1848) - 12 March 1845 - 1848.

Stitched album, oblong 4to, containing 14 watercolours with bodycolour, 13 on rice paper. Tears and holes to rice paper paintings. Frayed and peeling linen over card wrappers.
Ten vibrant costume illustrations and three pictures of different types of boat by a Chinese hand. This collection was compiled, perhaps by a British naval or military officer, very shortly after Hong Kong became a dependent territory of the United Kingdom in 1842. Into the first leaf is glued a sketch of a Chinese junk by the western traveller and amateur artist captioned: ''Hong Kong' Shore Boat taken while laying alongside H.M. Hospital Ship 'Minden' in 'Victoria' Harbour Hong Kong This 10th August 1843'' The signature that follows is unfortunately illegible. Toward the end of her career Minden saw duty as a hospital ship in Hong Kong from 1842 because a naval hospital on the shore was destroyed in a typhoon. It served those who suffered from malaria in the early colonial years. The boats on the following leaves are captioned in ink by the same hand. Several inserts between the first two pages including annotated and signed receipt dated 1868 for a donation to the 'China Inland Mission'. Some scraps and several blank leaves towards the end of the album.

Sitter appears to be The Shunzhi Emperor of China [1638 – 1661?], the second emperor of the Manchu Qing dynasty, who apparently supported the foundation of Jesuit churches in his kingdom. The Society of Jesus (Jesuits) was successful in penetrating China and serving at the Imperial court. They impressed the Chinese with their knowledge of European astronomy and mechanics, and in fact ran the Imperial Observatory. Other Jesuits functioned as court painters. The Jesuits in turn were impressed by the Chinese Confucian elite, and adopted their dress and customs.

A view of Macao drawn by Gaspard Duché de Vancy and engraved by Louis Joseph Masquelier for the account of the Pacific scientific expedition of Jean François de Galaup, comte de Lapérouse. Leaving Brest in 1785, Lapérouse rounded Cape Horn to enter the Pacific, visiting Easter Island, Hawaii, Alaska and the east coast of Asia, before arriving off Botany Bay on 24 January 1788. There he met with the British First Fleet, taking the opportunity to send journals, charts and letters back to Europe with the British merchant ship Alexander. In March he set sail again and disappeared: this plate was published while the search for the explorer continued. In 1828 artifacts of the expedition were found; the remains of the ships were discovered on Vanikoro in 1964.
