John Bradby Blake(1745-1773)于1767/68年作为英国东印度公司的押运员首次访问广州。1769年7月,他作为常驻押运员返回。从那时到他于1773年英年早逝,他与一位或多位中国艺术家合作,创作了150多幅中国植物绘画,其中许多都有精美的植物细节。这些绘画和橡树泉花园基金会(OSGF)橡树泉花园图书馆的相关档案提供了一个有趣的生活和以前鲜为人知的世纪后期英国和中国之间的社会和科学互动的细节一瞥。
John Bradby Blake (1745–1773) first visited Canton as a supercargo for the British East India Company in 1767/68. He returned as a resident supercargo in July 1769. Between then and his untimely death in 1773, in collaboration with one or more Chinese artists, he produced over 150 paintings of Chinese plants, many of which are illustrated in exquisite botanical detail. These paintings and the associated archives in the Oak Spring Garden Library at the Oak Spring Garden Foundation (OSGF) provide a detailed glimpse into an interesting life and a previously little known dimension of the social and scientific interactions between the British and Chinese in the late 18th century.
