Jardine, Matheson & Co. was founded in Canton in 1832, and has been a major player in the Chinese export trade ever since. This company-sponsored 150th birthday book features a wealth of information on the 19th century history of the company and its export trade and business in China (and some in Japan), illustrated with period art and documents. There's a also a bunch of 20th-century related material, but if you aren't interested, you have our permission to ignore it.
