Captain William Godfrey Rayston Masters, R.M. (fl. 1840-1861)
served in the Anglo-Chinese war of 1859-60 as an officer in the
Royal Marines, attached to the frigate Chesapeake. A series of eight
lithographs by the English maritime artist Thomas Goldsworthy Dutton
(1820–1891) illustrating “Operations at the entrance of the Pei-ho
River” after Masters’ drawings were published by Day & Son in 1861.
[Martyn Gregory, Artists of the China Coast, London: 1994, 23, no. 39.]

This view is seen from the junks along the Peiho river during the
Battle of the Taku Forts on June 25, 1859. The present lot shows
the American ship Toey-Wan under the command of Josiah Tattnall
attempting to aid the British forces lead by Admiral Hope. The story
of the Toey-Wan and Josiah Tattnall (1795-1871), who was first a
commander of the Confederate Navy, are recounted in many volumes,
see for example: Sir William Laird Clowes, et al., The Royal Navy: A
History from the Earliest Times to the Death of Queen Victoria, Vol. 7,
London, 1903, 128-132.
