'This extremely rare view shows Shanghai Park, the original racecourse, before it was extended after 1850. The course depicted here was considered to be too dusty and to have sharp bends. Most of it however was incorporated into the new course, trees having been planted and grandstands built.' (Martyn Gregory, cat.41, p.75).
