About this work

George Chinnery drew Macau in 1829. It’s a pencil sketch of the peninsula’s southwest edge. Small buildings dot the scene, one on the right was Dr. Colledge’s eye hospital. The hospital opened in 1827. By 1829 Chinnery recorded its plain wooden structure. Chinese patients came there for cataract care under British rule. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
