Houghton, M. “Views of the China Seas & Macao taken during Capt. D. Ross’ Surveys by M. Houghton. ” A disbound small folio album containing 40 drawings of various sizes, in pencil and pen and ink,many of the latter with sepia or grey/black washes. The drawings vary in size between approximately 3in x 4in to 8in x 14in and they are dated between 1816 and 1819. With the exception of the title page, the drawings are laid down on to the pages of the album and supplied with simple wash line mounts. Many have been cut out (presumably from sketch books) and have contemporary titles; those without titles are captioned beneath in what would appear to be a later hand. * Captain Daniel Ross was sent by the East India Company to Cochin China to survey the Paracel Islands in 1807, he completed charts of the south coast of China in that year and his work continued throughout the next decade or so and his charts were finally published in 1821. The arrangement of the drawings in the album is not chronological and they are most probably a personal selection from a larger body of work. That they were drawn “on the spot” is evidenced by one of the additional notes beneath the drawing of Hysansue Harbour in the Yellow Sea where the name of H. M S. Alceste is noted. The Alceste was the vessel that took Lord Amherst, in 1814, on his Embassy to China in his efforts to help the East India Company’s trading with the Chinese and which was later, whilst on an exploratory voyage in the region, wrecked on a rock in the Java Sea, the crew rescued and the vessel burnt by Malay Dyaks. It is therefore quite possible that both men were on this vessel at some point (this particular drawing is dated 1816). Two of the highlights of the collection are the view of “Singapore from the Rocky Point. 1819” this was the year that Stamford Raffles established a settlement here; and the fine drawing of the “Franciscan Monastery at Macao. ”

Manuscript Logbook.- Expedition of Captain Beechey sailor`s logbook on board the sloop The Adventure under the command of Captain William Henry Smyth sailing east from Tripoli and undertaking a survey of the north coast of Africa manuscript in a neat hand in ink 12ff. some mounted on the album leaves with 8 pen and ink sketches most with wash 1 pencil sketch and 2 pen and ink maps some album leaves at end excised contemporary half sheep over marbled boards spine repaired oblong 4to [1821-22]. ***A published record of the voyage by Captain Frederick William Beechey appeared in 1828 but a quite immediate and eloquent account is preserved in this sailor`s logbook as well. The unknown writer reveals a strong interest in the history and culture of northern Africa from the region`s Roman past to its contemporary Arab influence. An attuned observer he notes the “disdain” with which many Arab tribes look upon their African neighbours “who are ignorant of the language of the Koran.” Along with two maps of areas surveyed the work contains skilled pencil and ink drawings including a particularly evocative piece featuring a lone date palm “the only one seen on the coast...in a distance of 400 miles.” Similarly stark yet moving descriptions appear in his writing as he views the passing shore as a “desolate waste without tree or house or tent or anything to distinguish one part from another but the windings of a marsh which threads its dark surface and is lost in different parts of the unbroken horizon.” .
