When John Nieuhoff arrived with the Dutch diplomatic delegation in China in 1655, he drew, painted and wrote what he saw along the way. This image is the artist's impression of Canton from the boat. The boat of the delegation had reached the Canton River (Pearl River), which flows to the south of the Canton city and was packed with shuttling boats and merchant ships, such as the Dutch vessel in the foreground.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving entitled 'Kanton 1655' offers a glimpse into the bustling city of Canton as seen from a boat in 1655. Created by an unknown artist in the 17th century, this detailed image captures the vibrant activity along the Canton River (Pearl River) with merchant ships and shuttling boats filling the waterway.
The focal point of the scene is the city gate, through which all Westerners would pass to conduct trade during that time. The Dutch vessel in the foreground adds a touch of international flair to this historic depiction. In the distance, behind towering city walls, lies Canton city itself - a testament to its rich history as a major trading hub.
This engraving is not just a visual representation of Canton in 1655; it also serves as a window into the past for viewers today. It transports us back to an era when trade routes connected distant lands and cultures converged on bustling riverbanks.
As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of John Nieuhoff's journey with the Dutch diplomatic delegation to China and his keen eye for capturing scenes along their route. The artist's skillful rendering brings this historical moment to life, inviting us to explore and imagine what life was like in Canton over three centuries ago.
