Opium Clipper Ships 1824 Postcard
William John Huggins The opium ships at Lintin, China, 1824
In the early 1800s, the British controlled 90% of the Chinese opium trade. Clipper ships, which were fast sailing vessels with narrow decks, large sail areas, and multiple masts, were popular for smuggling opium and were known as "opium clippers". The First Opium War was fought between China and Britain from 1839 to 1842. The war was a response to Britain's illegal importing of opium into China from India, which caused widespread addiction. The British victory in the war opened up the lucrative Chinese trade to British merchants. By 1830, there were more than 100 Chinese smugglers' boats working the opium trade.

Exactly what I wanted, it is very difficult to acquire Vintage Australiana items. I am so please that I ordered 8 I will be using them for my scrap booking and Junk Journaling. Gorgeous, Zazzle produced and delivered exactly what I wanted.

Way better quality than I ever expected. I love the colours, font and quality of the card. I'm so pleased I found Zazzle as it is near impossible to purchase Vintage or Retro Australian memorabilia online. I chose this design when I purchased them. They are perfect for my projects. I was very specific about what I wanted. I know where to come now when I need to order similar items.

Perfect for the occasion I was using it for.
I was able to delete the lines so I could put in more wording.
Had an envelope so the address side wasn't necessary. Print quality and paper quality lovely.
