Features: In 1973, the Macartney Embassy sent by the British Empire arrived in the Qing Empire and met Emperor Qianlong at the Chengde Imperial Summer Villa. The young British painter William Alexander, as the official artist of the embassy, created numerous paintings depicting the customs and scenery of China at that time during the round-trip journey from Macau to Beijing, which later became highly popular in Britain and Europe. This book was published in London in 1814, featuring 50 exquisite color engravings that portray the emperor, soldiers, court ladies, merchants, and actors, showcasing the distant yet vibrant reign of Emperor Qianlong as seen by Europeans.
