The boat in the center comes from “Chinese Barges of the Embassy Preparing to Pass under a Bridge” from the same book: “An Authentic Account of an Embassy from the King of England to the Emperor of China: (with engravings by William Alexander) “, by Staunton, Sir George Leonard. See P200 for a marked plate in this same pattern in this collection.
