For a plate with the same scene and pattern, see D. Howard, J. Ayers, , New York, 1978, I, pp. 345-6, no. 344. The design originally derives from B. Picart's engraving after a painting by C. Coypel. The present platter may have been a part of a service made for Philip Bromfeld, J.P., of Baldre, Hampshire (1739-99), Captain of the armed East Indiaman who later commanded at Canton in 1771.
