EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the bustling city of Canton, also known as Guangzhou, which has long been recognized as a vital trading center in China. The image captures the vibrant Riverside area, where commerce and culture intertwine harmoniously. Standing tall against the backdrop are the national flags of Sweden, Great Britain, and the Netherlands - symbols of international trade and diplomacy. The artwork is signed by P. Sonnerat pinx (painter) and Poisson sculp (engraver), indicating its artistic value and attention to detail. Placed at plate 81 after page 12 in Volume 2, this piece holds significance within Sonnerat's body of work from 1782. Sonnerat's skillful brushstrokes bring life to every corner of this panoramic view. From towering buildings to intricate waterways teeming with boats carrying goods from distant lands, one can feel the pulse of economic activity that defines Canton. This remarkable print transports us back in time to an era when Canton was a hub for global trade. It serves as a testament to the historical importance of this Chinese metropolis while reminding us of its enduring legacy as an influential commercial powerhouse.
