The ambassadors landed in Guangzhou on July 29th 1655 and stayed until March 17th 1656. They went through Nanjing and had to triumph over the Jesuits hostilities in order to get admitted on October 1st 1656 in front of the emperor of China. Back in Guangzhou, Nieuhoff embarked for Europe on March 31st 1657. Dedicated to Colbert and illustrated with a large portrait of the minister, the work is renowned and sought-after for its very rich iconography of China known at the time.

Edition : First or 1669 Edition in English., Contemporary mottled full calf, rebacked expertly saving the original spine, spine with seven raised gilt bands; compartments densely gilt ornamentated; with gilt lettered title on brown morocco label on two and three. Blind dentelle pattern tooled on edges of covers; pasted and free endpapers marbled. , John or Johann Nieuhof, 1618 ? 1672 is best known for the account of his journey from "Guangzhou"Canton to Peking in 1655-1657, which enabled him to become an authoritative Western writer on China. The book was first published in Dutch in 1665 by Johan's brother Hendrik and the Amsterdam based publisher and printer Jacob van Meurs. The publication was successful, several edited editions followed, geared towards commercial interests, also translated into French, German, Latin and eventually into English. The English version was not published by Van Meurs, but by John Ogilby instead. The book consists of the notes and illustrations that Nieuhof made in his position as a steward on Peter de Goyer and Jacob de Keizer's embassy to the emperor of China. The work itself is split into two parts. The first part contains the written account of the embassy led by Peter de Goyer and Jacob de Keizer to the emperor of China. It details the entire journey from "Guangzhou"Canton to Peking and back again. This part also contains descriptions and depictions of all that the embassy came to pass on its trip. The second part consists of an overview of China, describing bridges, mountains, temples, customs and costumes supported by illustrations. Prior to this period, the image of the Chinese in Europe was dominated by fantasy illustrations. Many subsequent artists and architects based their work on Nieuhof's pictures. The present copy John Ogilby?s translation and the first Edition in English.

First edition in English of Nieuhoff's definitive account of the 1655-57 Dutch diplomatic mission to Beijing, the first VOC attempt to secure access to Chinese ports for trade. This edition provided the textual and visual reference points for many subsequent English-language books on China. As the expedition's steward, artist, and chronicler, Nieuhoff kept detailed journals of the proceedings. The plates, based on his now-lost watercolours, show Macau as seen from the water, Nanjing and its Porcelain Pagoda, Beijing and the Forbidden City, and "types", including a mandarin and a noblewoman. This was the first of Ogilby's "great atlases". Following Nieuhoff's account of the embassy is the section offering a "General Description of the Empire of China." "In it were included the drawing of some Chinese characters, a discussion of Confucius and Chinese philosophy, the clothing worn by Chinese, including a depiction of the bound feet of women, various burial customs, and an illustrated tale of beggars who tormented themselves in order to beg more successfully. Throughout, emphasis was placed on the unusual and the magnificent" (Van Eerde, pp. 96-8). The work was first published in Dutch and then French in 1665.
