DESCRIPTION: A early view of the city of Canton as seen from the Pearl River.<br><br> Johannes Nieuhof was Dutch traveler who wrote about his journeys to Brazil, China and India. The most famous of these was a trip from Canton to Peking in 1655-1657. He recorded his observations about the journey in “An Embassy from the East-India Company”. The Dutch East India Company was keen to persuade the Emperor to open up the Chinese ports to the Dutch, and Nieuhoff joined Pieter van Goyer and Jacob de Keyser on the mission to visit the Emperor Chun-Chi.
