The Private Side of the Canton Trade, 1700–1840
The Private Side of the Canton Trade, 1700-1840
Until now, the role of private traders in the Canton Trade has been largely overlooked. History books of the twentieth century say little about them, mostly because their narrative has often been drowned out by the business activities and complaints of the large companies, by discussions of opium smuggling, and by the many reasons for the Opium Wars. While it is true that the operations of private traders were very small compared to those of the …

Merchants of Canton and Macao
Images of the Canton Factories 1760-1822
Hundreds of Chinese export paintings of Canton trading houses and shopping streets are in museums and private collections throughout the world, and scholars of art and history have often questioned the reliability of these historical paintings. In this illustrated volume, Paul Van Dyke and Maria Mok examine these Chinese export paintings by matching the changes in the images with new historical data collected from various archives. Many factory p…

The theme of this volume is the American relationship with Macao and its region through trade, politics, and culture, and the focus is mainly on the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The essays address topics such as the role of the China trade in US pacific expansion and exploration, US consuls, smuggling networks, American women's perceptions of China, and missionary and educational work. In all of the encounters, Macao emerges as a cen…

Chapter Nine. Operational Efficiencies And The Decline Of The Chinese Junk Trade In The Eighteenth And Nineteenth Centuries
Although this study obviously involves some speculation, basic conclusions of the efficiencies of junks and western ships are possible thanks to the examination and comparison of the related data. These bits and pieces of disparate data and information about shipping from South China in the eighteenth and first years of the nineteenth century generate some conclusions, even if in some cases they need to be tentative. One of them is that there is …
Merchants of Canton and Macao
This landmark study of Canton and Macao merchants advances our understanding of the rise and development of international commercial networks. The eighteenth century was a transitional period in world trade when large monopolistic companies gradually lost ground to more efficiently operated private enterprises. The China trade was one of the catalysts propelling this transformation and it is crucial to a better understanding of how and why these …

The Canton Trade
This study utilizes a wide range of new source materials to reconstruct the day-to-day operations of the port of Canton during the eighteenth and first half of the nineteenth centuries. Using a bottom-up approach, it provides a fresh look at the successes and failures of the trade by focusing on the practices and procedures rather than on the official policies and protocols

How and Why the Dutch East India Company Became Competitive in Intra-Asian Trade in East Asia in the 1630s
Many of the principles we know today about the world economy were first discovered in Early Modern Asia. The Portuguese and the Spanish were the first to extend their sphere of trade to encompass the world. In the beginning of the seventeenth century, the English, Dutch, French, Danes, Swedes and others, all made their way past the Cape of Good Hope seeking their share of the Asian trade. By the middle of the century, one of them became so succes…
