- Abstract
The intention of this particular study is to examine the nature of the individual contributions of E. C. Bowra, J. H. Gray, Hu Tao-tai and H. Kopsch to the Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs Collection exhibited at the Vienna Weltausstellung in 1873. Bowra's own personal assessment of the Chinese Section and its objectives, outlined in his 'Report on the Objects of Chinese Manufacture suited to English Markets, exhibited at the Vienna Exhibition', forms the central theme of this discussion.
