Plan de la ville de Peking levee en 1817 (title repeated in Russian). St. Petersburg, (c. 1815) 1220 x 960 mm.
A rare map of the city published in St Petersburg in the early part of the nineteenth century. The plan shows details of the city walls, gates, streets, waterways, lakes, palaces, buildings and temples. Although mentioned in Cordier, little detail is given, but it does appear to be a source map for a number of subsequent maps published through the nineteenth century.
The Russian Ecclesiastical Mission in Peking was founded in 1727. The Emperor K’Ang His gave them a temple in the north-west corner of the city. According to Cordier a good deal of Scientific and Sinological work was done at the mission.
1770-1823.
Vallance arrived in Philadelphia from Glasgow Scotland early in 1791. He quickly established his reputation as one of the best engravers in the city. During this period he developed a friendship with James Thackara. In 1791 Vallance married Elizabeth Trenchard, a niece of Thackara's wife Hannah. A partnership with Thackara was established. He engraved banknotes and documents. In addition he was one of the founders, in 1774, of the Association of Artists in America. His wife Elizabeth died in 1798 at the age of 28. Four years later he married again to Margaret Pratt.
