Adventures of a Merchant Banker

Booklet
Early Photographs of China
Little known photographs from the BRLSI archives, taken by the tea merchant and opium trader William Herbert Vacher (c1826–1899). They offer intriguing insights into a country which had yet to open itself to western eyes, and evoke a time of Empire and trade wars, when opium was at the centre of intense international negotiation and British naval activity.
