Title
View of Canton from Shamian Island
Description
This was the view of Canton captured from Shamian Island. There were shops and people having different business. It was so crowded that Dezső Bozóky commented 'But what rebellion is afoot opposite Shamian, where our ship is preparing to dock?' in his diary.
