1817 CHINA Voyages of Macartney Macao Hong Kong Emperor Fou-hi MAP of ASIA India

In the first part of the 19^th-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.
