In his Journal, Alphonse Marey-Monge chronicles his two missions to China between 1841 and 1845. This epic journey across oceans and continents, punctuated with discoveries and encounters, offers a glimpse into the inner sanctum of Franco-Chinese negotiations and the worldview of one of Louis-Philippe’s subjects.
