The visual records fall into three basic categories of landscapes, portraits and flora depictions, consisting of views of Rio do Janeiro, Straits of Sunda, Cochin China, Canton, Beiljing and its vicinity, Jehol and the southern provinces of China. William Alexander (1767-1816), the famous draughtsman attached to the Embassy, rendered views that changed the Western perception of China in the latee eighteenth and early nineteenth century, but from the style of drawings, Alexander could not have rendered them.The sketches were compared with other Alexander drawings in the British Library India Office collection, Hong Kong Shanghai Banking Corporation Archive and other collections and the results are as follows. Firstly, with the Toyo Bunko sketches, the exact location of unidentified landscapes was finally determined. Secondly, the Toyo Bunko sketches were used as studies for Alexander’s landscapes and portraits of Chinese people. After analyzing the sketches, it is safe to say that some of Alexander’s watercolors were a result of team effort utilizing his studies as well as works by others attached to the Embassy.Lastly, the artist of these sketches was formerly believed to be Henry William Parish (?-1798), an engineer of the Royal Artillery, but there are no signatures, dates, descriptions concerning locations and other information to determine the actual artist. The sketches seem to be rendered by the same hand except for a few distinctive differences in style, perhaps by Sir John Barrow (1765- 1848), the Comptroller of the Embassy.The Toyo Bunko sketches will be a significant contribution to the studies of visual records produced by the Macartney Embassy. Furthermore, the sketches proved that Alexander used several images to complete his so-called masterpieces, which will change the extant studies on Alexander as well as the entitle visual records brought back by the Macartney Embassy to China.}, pages = {96--124}, title = {マカートニー使節団の画像史料:東洋文庫の画帖を中心に}, volume = {89}, year = {2007}, yomi = {ヤスダ, シンイチ} }
