The Dutch Mission of 1795 and the Forgotten History of Western Encounters with China
Tonio Andrade
The 1795 Dutch mission to China comprised a scholar, Isaac Titsingh, and a crafty businessman named Andreas van Braam Houckgeest. When they asked for an audience with the Qianlong emperor and their request was granted, they became the last European delegation to be received at the traditional Chinese imperial court. A dramatic narrative of this successful, yet forgotten mission, Andrade’s book offers fresh perspectives on 18th-century China and Sino-Western relations.
