Description:
View of Canton in China
Metz del. Heath sculp.
Published as the act directs by Harrison & Co. March 1, 1785.
This view appears in Chater VI.4 where it is dated c1730 This was before the artist was born and so this date is incorrect. I would suggest that Metz may have produced his study be after a Chinese painting c.1780. Then Heath engraved it and it was published by Harrison in 1785.
