廣州十三商館/約1820
Foreign Factories in Guangzhou/c. 1820
畫家佚名 油彩布本(Oil on canvas)
廣州商館區又稱「十三行」，所謂「十三」其實只是一個代號或象徵數目，實際上在這裡駐居的外商數目常有變化。畫中所見之商館，由左至右分別是西班牙、美國、英國和荷蘭。商館都是西式的建築物，有圓拱的廊柱及寬大的露台，一般是兩層高，上層作居住用途，下層辦公或存貨。
The foreign Factories were also known as the “Thirteen Hongs”. “Thirteen” was merely an attribute. The actual number of foreign countries that occupied the district fluctuated. Here the Factories shown from left to right are Spanish, American, Britain and Dutch. As illustrated in this painting, the architecture of the Factories is in western style, featuring arched columns and large verandas. Most of them are two-storey high, with the upper floor as residence and lower floor as office or warehouse.
