This topographical print is Village of Cheou-Hai, a village near Canton/Guangzhou, China). The scene depicts a bustling coastal or river village characterized by traditional Chinese architecture and watercraft. Houses and warehouses line the canal or river bank, with one building on the right featuring prominent vertical striping or signs. The background is dominated by a hill topped with a tall pagoda. Numerous small Chinese boats (junks and sampans) are moored or moving through the waterway. The original drawing was by Louis Auguste de Sainson. This print is from the official account of the voyage
commanded by Jules Dumont d'Urville (Voyage de la corvette l'Astrolabe).
Louis Auguste de Sainson was a French naval artist and draftsman who served as the official artist on Jules Dumont d'Urville's expedition aboard the corvette l'Astrolabe (1826–1829). His prolific output of meticulously detailed drawings provided a comprehensive visual record of the landscapes, natural history, and ethnographic subjects encountered in the Pacific, Australia, New Zealand, and East Asia, which were then reproduced as high-quality engravings for the voyage's official published atlas.
