This ethnographic print is Procession of Officers). The scene depicts a formal procession of Chinese officials or dignitaries marching along a narrow street lined by walls and buildings in a Chinese city, Canton (Guangzhou). The figures are dressed in traditional, long Chinese robes, and the procession appears to be passing a significant gateway or shrine under the shade of large trees. 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 drawings provided a visual record of the customs and social practices encountered on the voyage, including the formal ceremonies and street scenes of China, which were then reproduced as high-quality engravings for the voyage's official published atlas.
