This engraving depicts a Chinese Junk on the Canton River. It is part of the India China book and showcases the distinctive design of a Chinese sailing vessel, with its high stern and large sail. The scene captures the boat navigating the river, with other smaller boats visible alongside. The background features a glimpse of the waterfront and buildings, typical of Canton (now Guangzhou), China, during the 19th century. The engraving was sketched by Captain R. Elliot R. N., drawn by S. Prout, and engraved by W. Woolnoth. The intricate detail of the ship’s design and the surrounding environment reflects the craftsmanship and cultural significance of Chinese maritime vessels during this period.
