You are bidding on a large original antique print from an 1880s illustrated journal.

It depicts 8 views of Guangzhou (Canton), province of Guangdong in southern China. Located on the Pearl River about 120 km (75 mi) north-northwest of Hong Kong and 145 km (90 mi) north of Macau, Guangzhou has a history of over 2200 years and was a major terminus of the maritime Silk Road.

The views include the Zhenhai Tower, the Pearl River, the North Gate and several views of the city's walls.

The Zhenhai Tower, also known as the Five-Storied Pagoda, is a tower in Guangzhou, Guangdong, China. It is located in Yuexiu Park, in central Guangzhou. It now houses the Guangzhou Museum.

The brick city walls were about 6 miles (10 km) in circumference, 25 feet (8 m) high, and 20 feet (6 m) wide. Its eight main gates and two water gates all held guards during the day and were closed at night.

The print is very large (folio size), measuring approximately 11 x 16 inches (28 x 40.5 cm).

The page is in excellent condition for its age. There is text/photos on the back of the print. See scan for an accurate view of the condition.

This print will come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
