George Chinnery drew this in 1832. It shows fishermen drying nets outside a small fort near Canton. The fort once stood in the Pearl River, close to trading posts. The fort had a temple and big banyan trees inside. Later, British troops took it down in 1856. By the 1930s, the whole site vanished under landfill. Look up George Chinnery next.
