> Acuarelas chinas, pinturas de médula y herbario: Minnie Wight, 1858

Esta hermosa colección de obras chinas se conservó en un álbum de mediados del siglo XIX perteneciente a Minnie Wight, de Newhaven. Se sabe poco sobre Minnie Wright, pero evidentemente era inglesa y su dirección era «Newhaven» en 1858. Las anotaciones que acompañan a la colección indican que su nieto se llamaba Philip Orford.

Probablemente estuvo vinculada a la comunidad británica residente en China en torno a los principales puertos comerciales del delta del Yangtsé tras el Tratado de Nankín de 1842. Además de bellos ejemplos de pinturas chinas sobre médula y acuarelas florales, la colección incluye una acuarela de un maestro de escuela chino, con la inscripción «Morton envía a Minnie», y varios especímenes de herbario recolectados en lugares cercanos al Gran Canal y Hangzhou, su extremo sur, entre 1859 y 1862. También hay dos especímenes recolectados en la Granja Hogg, Inglaterra, en 1863. En conjunto, la colección constituye un fascinante registro de la historia, las actividades y los intercambios socioculturales que tuvieron lugar entre China y Occidente en el siglo XIX.
