Artist George Chinnery drew a view of trading posts called “factories” in Canton, China. He dated the work March 1, 1828, using pencil or ink. Beyond the long row of buildings you can spot Old China Street at the far end. One prominent house topped by a pavilion belonged to a local merchant named Liu Tung, also called Chung Qua. Look up the Romanticism movement next.
