Dear colleagues, All are invited to join us in a few weeks for this virtual lecture and conversation. Feel free to share with your colleagues interested in Asian export art and the China trade! *Thursday July 29, 5-6 pm Eastern* Free Register here <https://www.pem.org/events/phillips-library-book-talk-sino-french-trade-at-canton-1698-1842> The Phillips Library invites you to join author Susan Schopp in a discussion of her new book *Sino-French Trade at Canton, 1698-1842 <https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/distributed/S/bo82108158.html>*. Susan will highlight the role the Phillips Library and PEM played in her research on this rich topic. *This program is sponsored by PEM's Pamela Cunningham Copeland Visiting Scholar Fund.* About the book: The French were early among Europeans to take part in direct trade with China through the port of Canton (Guangzhou), where their first merchant vessel arrived in November 1698. Over the decades, their movements were closely watched by their rivals. Their contributions to the trade were both significant and diverse. Drawing on French, other European, and U.S. archival sources and on a range of first-hand personal accounts, the book brings France's near century and a half in that trade to life.
