Summary

Description
English: Maritime Business on the Huangpu River, Shanghai, circa 1850
Dominating the eye along the riverbank, the Chinese Customs House shows the nation’s traditional architectural style, with the yellow-tiled roof indicating an allegiance with the Chinese Emperor, alongside several warehouses and residences of prominent 19th Century Western merchants. Numerous people walk the wharf, and most are identifiable by the style of their hats, including one Western business man in the center holding a cane. The American mariners in the sloop display the national flag and are possibly finishing a negotiation with the merchant with Chinese sailors at the oars, a servant at his side in his boat. A cutter sloop and a schooner are also on the water, while a well-dressed man rides in his rowed boat powered by to oarsmen in stark red uniform apparel with wide-brimmed white hats.
