Sumario:Hundreds of Chinese export paintings of Canton trading houses and shopping streets are in museums and private collections throughout the world, and scholars of art and history have often questioned the reliability of these historical paintings.

Many factory paintings are reliable historical records in their own right and can be dated to a single year.
