专家说明

In 1814, when the monopoly of the British East India Company was broken and trade with India and China was opened to competition, Sir John Gladstone's firm was the first to send a private ship to Calcutta, and shortly afterwards to China. As such he began to add items of curiosity including the present lot to his ever-growing collection.
