The album, bequeathed in 1928, contains 93 drawings by George Chinnery and was created during his time in Macau, Guangzhou, and nearby areas. Chinnery, an artist born in London in 1774, established himself as a leading portrait painter in British India before relocating to Macau in 1825, where he remained until his death in 1852.
