Légende

The War with China - Mr. Consul Parkes bidding Adieu to the Old Co-Hong Mandarins, 1857. Scene from the Second Opium War: '...the leave-taking of the Consul, and a deputation of the old security merchants, Howqua Mowqua, Kingqua, &c...we have a fine set of men here, both among the naval and military as well as in the diplomatic department. Few men could surpass Mr. Consul Parkes in intelligence and activity and a thorough knowledge of the Chinese character. Every one has full confidence in the Admiral; and his coadjutors, Captains Hall, Cochrane, Bate, &c., are the right men in the right place'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
