More information

I was just given link to your web site (fans) and want to tell you that you have some lovely examples.
One of my areas of study is Chinese export and I thought I would tell you that the verso on your #H70.4 is the Boca Tigris on the Pearl River. I concur that a "?" is appropriate for the recto. I am not sure it is indeed Whampoa from Dane's Island, as there is only one pagoda (and Whampoa had 2) but it might just be artistic licence. Nonetheless a fine example..

See also the link below were you can find a similar painting with a lot of information.
"Bogue" the original Portuguese name for the narrow and fortified entrance to the Pearl River leading up to Canton.

The puff satin sleeves are slashed into five bands retaining ruched and trimmed net, The sleeves and neck are finished with silk blonde bobbin lace.

The coat is of figured satin. The large collar is beautifully shaped to form a split section held with satin bands. The sleeves are ruched and bound by satin strips. The front of the bodice is exquisitely decorated with bunches of silk covered berries The back is very gathered at the centre and is lined with silk. There is a matching silk reticule, trimmed in the same fashion as the coat.
