Framed Print of Signing of the Treaty between England and China at Tien-tsin on June 26, 1858, (1858). Creator: Unknown
Signing of the Treaty between England and China at Tien-tsin on June 26, 1858, (1858). Hwa-Sha-Na; the Earl of Elgin, Kwei-Leang; Admiral [Sir Michael] Seymour...the ceremony of signing the treaty just concluded between the Government of her Majesty and the Emperor of China...at Ya-mum, called Hai-Kwang She...[was] important not only as terminating months of bloodshed and misery, but also, in all probability, as ushering in a brighter period for the future of this unique and wonderful empire...At our arrival the troops filed in and took up their position...the band struck up the National Anthem, and...the seat of honour was taken by the British Ambassador. Kwei-Leang, the third man in the Empire, and principal Commissioner, sat on the left of Lord Elgin; Hwa-Sha-Na sat on the right; and the Admiral occupied the second seat of honour...Immediately after the necessary signatures and seals were appended refreshments, consisting of tea and sweetmeats, were handed round, and, through the interpreters, a conversation was carried on in the most affable manner between his Lordship and the mandarins. Kwei-Leang is an old man of about seventy, and seemed very nervous and agitated during the whole of the proceedings...Thus ends the second China war'. From Illustrated London News, 1858.
