1817 CHINA Voyages of Macartney
Macao Hong Kong Emperor Fou-hi MAP of ASIA India
In the first part of the 19th-century, stories and tales of
famous voyages were popular throughout the western world – tales of Captain
Cook, Columbus, African voyages, and the East India Company occupied readers
from all over. Perhaps the best source of these accounts was ‘Bibliotheque Portative des Voyages’ – an
enormous collection of voyage and exploration accounts.
This atlas tome from the 1817 first edition contains views of the
voyages of Macartney in China. It should be mentioned that this volume contains
20 impressive illustrations including a folding map of Europe and southern
Asia! Other illustrations include a
portrait of Lord Macartney, Chinese bridges and boats, legend of Emperor Fou-hi
(Fuxi), Chinese fishermen, Grotto of Camoens in Macao, and many others.
