Lot Essay

Scottish-born, Colin Campbell worked at the British East India Company, the South Sea Company, and the Austrian East India Company. In the early 1730s he helped form the Swedish East India Company and for his knowledge of the China Trade, he was raised to nobility. See M. Cohen and W. Motley, Mandarin and Menagerie, Surrey, 2008, p. 17.
