Bridge at Honan opposite to Canton is a 6 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
George Chinnery drew a bridge with houses built on wooden piles. It’s a quick sketch from 1832, done in ink on paper. The scene shows Honan, a district south of the Pearl River in Guangzhou. Chinnery made two drawings of this bridge on the same day. One view matches this side, the other looks from across the water. Look up George Chinnery next.
A drawing by George Chinnery depicts an arched bridge with houses constructed on wooden piles in the Henan district south of the Pearl River in Guangzhou. The work is part of a volume containing 130 drawings made in Macau, Guangzhou, and nearby areas. The drawing may correspond to another work by Chinnery created on the same day but viewed from the opposite side. It was later reproduced in *The Studio* in 1927 and bequeathed in 1928 as part of an album of 93 drawings by Chinnery.
