This is a drawing from 1831 by George Chinnery. It shows the remains of a Swedish merchant building in Macao. That building once housed Swedish traders between Canton trading seasons. The ruins sit between two known spots: the Leal Senado and a Franciscan Green. It’s a quiet record of a place that’s now mostly gone. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
