Western Australian Company, Settlement of Australind. Town Land+Order. no 1680. Order of Choice. Original. [&] Duplicated original.
[1843.]
Unique letterpress contract completed with ink mss. Sheet 520 x 490mm (20½ x 16½"). Creases, wear to edges.
Very early West Australiana item. The 'Original' and 'Duplicate Original' of a land ownership contract, relating to the new settlement of Australind in Western Australia, the third part, the 'Counterpart', was retained by the company. The colony was set up with the intention of breeding horses for the army in India (thus the name Austral-Ind), and plots were sold to investors and prospective settlers in London and elsewhere. By 1841 there were 440 settlers but that year Methodist minister Rev. John Smithies wrote to the Wesleyan Missionary Society in London, ''If any of your friends are thinking of Austral-Ind as a point of emigration tell them to Stop. It is one of the greatest puffs that there has been for some time. I should be sorry if any of our Methodist friends or others should be so deluded as to embark for such a place''. Poor soil, summer droughts and winter deluges meant that by 1875 the settlement was abandoned.

Compensation. Old TAOW-KWANG, being now tired of the war, sent Commisioners to treat for peace. Accordingly, on the 26th of August, 1842, they arrived, and a Treaty was immediately commenced.- China to pay 21,000,000 dollars in the course of the present and three succeeding years.- Five Large Ports to be thrown open to British trade, and the Island of Hong-Kong to be ceded for ever to England. - Who retains possession of Nankin and the Grand Canal until the first installment of 6,000,000 dollars is paid.
Wood engraving, printed in blue 135 x 150mm (5¼ x 6"). Glued to backing sheet.
A rare satire on the Treaty of Nanking (Nanjing) a peace treaty that ended the First Opium War (1839-1842). The image shows the Emperor Daoguang (otherwise known as Tao Kuang) (1782 -1850) handing the money over to the English Soldiers and presenting sacks, the one in his hand reads ' Holland & Wood to Burn,' and behind his men are jars containing Opium. The Chinese Court spectates. This could possibly be a Tea Wrapper.
