Opium Clipper Ships 1824 Postcard
William John Huggins The opium ships at Lintin, China, 1824
In the early 1800s, the British controlled 90% of the Chinese opium trade. Clipper ships, which were fast sailing vessels with narrow decks, large sail areas, and multiple masts, were popular for smuggling opium and were known as "opium clippers". The First Opium War was fought between China and Britain from 1839 to 1842. The war was a response to Britain's illegal importing of opium into China from India, which caused widespread addiction. The British victory in the war opened up the lucrative Chinese trade to British merchants. By 1830, there were more than 100 Chinese smugglers' boats working the opium trade.

Bought 10 Shakespeare quotes postcards and have framed them individually and placed them around the house Love them, some are funny and some are deep and meaningful! Lovely background on some, excellent printed words. A couple of plain white cards with black print - very stricking

My order was probably an awkward one! I asked for a range of different fine-art prints, in postcard size. It was all freshly printed, delivered quickly and at a very reasonable price. Best quality matt finish I've seen on a fine-art print.
