佚名 外灘 布面油畫 鏡框 約一八五五年作ProvenanceChristie's, New York, 15 March 1988來源紐約佳士得,1988年3月15日The port of Shanghai was opened to Western trade under the terms of the Treaty of Nanking in 1842 ending the first 'Opium War'. Soon after, wharves and trading houses were built along banks of the Huangpu river. This early view of the European and American trading houses and consulates along the west bank of the Huangpu river illustrates the Bund in its formative stage.
