"The International Factories (The Hongs) at Canton, c.1830-35" is a historical painting by an anonymous artist, depicting the foreign trading posts, known as the Thirteen Factories or the Canton Factories, located on the Pearl River at Guangzhou (Canton), China. This area was the heart of foreign commerce in China during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, prior to the Opium Wars and the subsequent opening of additional treaty ports.

The painting is a valuable visual document of the period, offering insight into the early interactions between China and the Western world. It captures a vibrant scene along the riverfront, with the various national flags indicating the presence of different Western powers, including the British, American, French, and Dutch East India Companies, among others. These hongs served as the headquarters for foreign merchants and were the only places where Chinese authorities permitted them to conduct business.

The artwork is characterized by its detailed architectural renderings of the Western-style buildings and the bustling activity along the quayside, with merchants, sailors, and laborers going about their business. The river is often depicted with an array of ships, from Chinese junks to Western clippers, highlighting the mix of cultures and the importance of maritime trade to the economy of the time.

As an important cultural artifact, "The International Factories (The Hongs) at Canton, c.1830-35" provides historians and art enthusiasts with a glimpse into the complexities of Sino-foreign relations and commerce before the dramatic changes that would reshape China's engagement with the world. The anonymity of the artist adds an element of mystery to the work, leaving viewers to focus on the content and historical context of the painting rather than the creator's personal story.
