On the embassy\u2019s arrival in China it emerged that the 11-year-old was the only European member of the embassy able to speak Mandarin, and thus the only one able to converse with the Emperor.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Macartney_Embassy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lord Macartney&#8217;s embassy<\/a> was unsuccessful, the Chinese resisting British overtures to establish diplomatic relations in view of opening the vast Chinese realms to free trade, but it opened the way for future British missions, which would eventually lead to the first Opium War and the cession of Hong Kong to Britain in 1842. It also resulted in this invaluable account, prepared at government expense, largely from Lord Macartney&#8217;s notes, by Staunton, of Chinese manners, customs and artifacts at the height of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Qing_dynasty\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Qing dynasty<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The engravings are of special interest because of their depiction of subjects that very few Europeans had heard of or seen, showing how advanced Chinese civilisation was on a technical, artistic and organizational level.<\/p>\n<p>Price: Euro 195,-<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThe Fire-Back Pheasant of Java\u201d Copper engraving by William Skelton after a drawing by William Alexander (1767-1816 ) from the \u201cAuthentic account of an embassy from the King of Great Britain to the Emperor of China;
