Lot 101 | Guangdong Naval Garrison
Valeur estimée
$ 12 000 – 18 000
Manuscript map of Guangdong's naval garrisons in the mid-19th century, depicting from Xuanzhong Port in Zhao’an County in the east, to Jiangping Town in the west, including the Pearl River and its estuary. The Navy of Guangdong was found in 1664, but was dissolved four years later. In 1809, the Navy was re-established, headquartered in the Humen Town. After the First Opium War (1839-1842), naval defense was strengthened along the coasts of Guangdong and Fujian. This map indicates the locations of garrisons and other constructions along Guangdong’s coastlines. The Weiyuan Fort, constructed in 1835, provides a terminus post quem for the map. The small island, originally named “Red Censer,” was renamed “Hong Kong,” and British colonialists began construction on a large scale. What they built on the Censer were no longer Chinese-style buildings, but rather occidental stone structures. This map was very likely drawn before the Second Opium War (1860), since Kowloon was still under the control of the Qing government. The small island drawn north of Hong Kong Island is Kellett Island, where British defensive forts faced the Kowloon peninsula (Chan). This type of map, with depictions of landscape in a manner referencing traditional Chinese painting, is more suitable for the strategic planning conducted by higher-level commanding officers (Liang). This map is a close copy of the original map in the collection of the First Historical Archives of China.
