This print captures a significant historical moment between two influential figures - The Viceroy of Canton and Commodore Anson. Taken from George Anson's voyage around the world in the years 1740-1744, this engraving showcases an audience being granted by the Viceroy to the esteemed Commodore. The image transports us back to 18th century Guangdong, China, where traditional costumes are donned by both parties. The Viceroy sits regally on his ornate throne, exuding power and authority. His mandarins stand attentively nearby, adding an air of formality to the scene. Commodore Anson stands before him with utmost respect, wearing a hat that symbolizes his high rank. The meeting between these two individuals signifies a cultural exchange and diplomatic dialogue that transcends borders. Surrounded by attendants who observe every detail of this historic encounter, it is evident that this moment holds great significance for both parties involved.
