Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents historical documentation of the first Dutch diplomatic voyage to China during the Qing Dynasty. Following the gradual collapse of the Ming Dynasty, the Dutch East India Company capitalized on the establishment of the Qing Dynasty by dispatching an envoy to congratulate the emperor on his 80th birthday and to reinforce the Dutch desire for continued trade relations. The book provides a comprehensive historical account of this journey, offering insight into Sino-Dutch trade relations during the 18th century, as well as the social and cultural nuances of diplomacy and travel between two vastly different cultures. The detailed writings of the Dutch envoy Van Braam provide a unique perspective on the significance of this mission within the greater context of European interaction with China during the era of European colonialism.
