7358 Jacques-Nicolas Bellin (1703–1772) – View of Guangzhou or Canton / China – Engraving
This detailed engraving is a topographical view of the city of Guangzhou, formerly known as Canton, in China. The illustration, from Jacques-Nicolas Bellin's supplement to Abbé Prévost’s Histoire générale des voyages, shows the city's waterfront with a bustling harbor filled with numerous European and local sailing ships. In the background, the city's skyline, including what appears to be a pagoda, is visible, with mountains on the horizon. The print provides a vivid historical record of this major trading port in the mid-18th century.
Jacques-Nicolas Bellin was a French cartographer and naval officer, who served as the first Ingénieur Hydrographe de la Marine. He was a key figure in 18th-century cartography, known for his prolific and highly accurate maps of coasts and ports around the world. His works, including Petit Atlas Maritime, were considered authoritative for many years and contributed significantly to navigational knowledge.
