About This Item
1804 CHINA George Macartney Embassy Voyages Trade MAP Emperor Qianlong CHINESE
In 1793, George Macartney headed the first British diplomatic mission to China – The Macartney Embassy. This mission was established to set ports of trade between China and Britain and establish permanent relations between the two world powers. Unfortunately, the Chinese Emperor Qianlong did not see the need for trade with Britain. Details of the mission and voyage were published by Aeneas Anderson who reported on major details of the mission.
This work, entitled 'A Narrative of the British Embassy to China' was a highly desirable work throughout Britain in the late 18th-century. So popular in fact that abridged versions were published. One such edition was J.B.J. Breton's French edition "Voyage en Chine et Tartarie", published in Paris in 1804. This four-tome example includes an atlas tome which features 22 engravings, including map!
