Opium Smokers and Gamblers. In one of their nightly haunts.
Drawn on the Spot by Sir Harry Darell, Bar.t. On Stone by J.H. Lynch.
London Pub.d May 18 1842 by Mess.rs Colnaghi & Puckle, Printsellers to Her Majesty, to the Queen Dowager, to H.R.H. the Duchess of Kent, &c, 23, Cockspur S.t.
Scarce tinted lithograph. Sheet 355 x 430mm (14 x 17"), large margins on three sides. Bit dusty
The interior of a Chinese opium den. Sir Harry Darell (1814-53), Baronet of Richmond Hill, entered the army as an ensign in the 18th Foot in 1832, becoming lieutenant in 1835. During the First Opium War he was aide-de-camp of Brigadier-General Burrell of the 18th Irish Regiment: he was present at a conference between J.J.Gordon Bremer and Admiral Chang on board HMS Wellesley (4th July 1840, subject of a lithograph by Darell also published 1842, which includes a self-portrait), just prior to the Taking of Chusan, at which he fought. He was promoted to Captain in 1841. He then served in South Africa with the 7th Dragoon Guards, being promoted to Major in 1847, then Lieut-Colonel by brevet the following year. He died in Sardinia. Although he published 'China, India, Cape of Good Hope and Vicinity. A Series of Thirteen Treble-Tinted Views from Sketches by Lieut.-Col. Sir Harry Darell, Bar.t', this plate predates the book by a decade. This plate seems to be a pair to his view of the Chusan Conference.
