View of the Capture of Amoy, by Crawford

Bill Brown   ... Xiamen University

I just came across a great hand colored engraving by Crawford entitled, "View of the Capture of Amoy."  I'd love to use it in the book I'm working on, "Old Amoy in Foreigner's Eyes," 《老外看老厦门》, but the few sources I've seen want a fortune for permission to use it.   If anyone has a copy that I could have a scan of, I'd really appreciate it--and, of course, will imprint your name on it, and acknowledge you in the book as supplying the image.

Thanks!

Bill
