Comments:There is a list of descriptions of the subjects inserted in the front of the album. This drawing is described as: “65 A sea Vessel, in which a part of the Embassy travell’d from Ning-po to Tchusan. Vide the Costume of China.” Alexander was presumably referring in the description transcribed above to Plate 12 (aquatint) in “The Costume of China” (published 1805; etched lettering under image: “W. Alexander fecit” and “London Publish’d May 1.st. 1798. by G: Nicol. Pallmall”), which depicts three ships lying at anchor, one of which is identified by Alexander as that in which embassy members travelled in from Zhoushan and Ningbo. 1865,0520.258 in the BM album is the study for this plate.For further information about the album, see comment for 1865,0520.193.
