Following the evolution of the building along Canton waterfront it is possible to be quite precise in dating a particular view. The present painting features the distinctive angular outline of a church built on land that was purchased by Jardine Matheson in May 1847. More significantly, the elegant two-storied  building built over the water, known as the Club, which housed the Canton Library, Masonic Lodge and Billiard Rooms was not built until around 1850.  A fire destroyed the club, the hongs and surrounding building in 1856 forcing relocation. The timeline therefore indicates that the present painting was done sometime between 1850 and 1856.
