Canton and Part of the Suburbs, sketched during the Conflagration in the City, 1857. Creator: Unknown

Canton and Part of the Suburbs, sketched during the Conflagration in the City, 1857. This Sketch is of interest as it was taken during the only fire of importance which we have succeeded as yet in making inside the city - namely, the Viceroy's yamun...On the right...is the site of an extensive fire yesterday, which burned all the old Hongs between the Garden and Dutch Folly. This view is also of interest as the church on which it was sketched is about to be burnt down and the Garden abandoned by H.M. Forces. Among the striking points...are on the left, Magazine Hill and Gough's Fort on the heights; in the left foreground are Jardine & Co.'s factories. On the right foreground is the Garden and the Royal Marines guard-room; and in the river is shown Dutch Folly Fort, and beyond it are the remains of French Folly Fort'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857
