THE FORTUNE OF BRITISH TEA FORTUNE, Robert.

Three years’ wanderings in the northern provinces of China, including a visit to the tea, silk, and cotton countries: with an account of the agriculture and horticulture of the Chinese, new plants, etc. … With illustrations.

First edition recounting the travels through China of the Scottish botanist and traveller Robert Fortune (1812–1880), a frequent visitor to China who as agent of the Tea Committee became a pivotal figure in bringing Chinese tea to British India. Originally a botanist, Fortune travelled to China in 1843 with the intention of collecting plants for the Horticultural Society of London. ‘He spent three years in China, exploring nurseries and gardens in towns and inland areas little known to foreigners. He spoke some Chinese, and was generally able to pass himself off as a native of a part of China other than that which he was visiting. He disguised himself in Chinese dress to visit Soochow (Suzhou), then closed to Europeans, and through his resourcefulness and determination was able to survive shipwreck, attack by pirates, thieves, and bandits, as well as fever. He visited Java on his way out in 1843 and Manila in 1845, where he collected orchids, returning to England in May 1846. Among the many beautiful and interesting plants which he sent back to Britain were the double yellow rose and the fan palm (Chamoerops fortunei) that bear his name, the Japanese anemone, many varieties of the tree peonies, long cultivated in north China, the kumquat (Citrus japonica), Weigela rosea, Daphne fortunei, Jasminium nudiflorum, Skimmia japonica fortunei, Berberis japonica, and Dicentra spectabilis, besides various azaleas and chrysanthemums’ (ODNB).

Dogs in Early Photography.

Throughout history, dogs have been a subject in art; dogs were featured in cave drawings, coins, funerary sculptures or medieval marginalia. Before smartphones allowed dog owners to capture and share every moment of their dogs’ lives, fine art documented this relationship and promoted the dog from a supporting to a leading role. While Renaissance and Baroque portraiture is the first clear sign of the increasingly close emotional connection between humans and dogs, it was in the nineteenth century that this new relationship truly began to take hold, as the Industrial Revolution brought about a growing middle class and, just at this moment of enormous social change, dog-loving Queen Victoria made dog ownership prestigious and fashionable. For the first time, companion dog ownership began to transcend social class as the aristocracy and the middle and working classes embraced their new canine family members. Meanwhile, the nascent world of photography allowed dog owners to capture images of their pets, and the mass production of images made it possible at a reasonable cost. As a result, photography has had an outsized impact on the dog, its social position, and its importance to modern society.
