荷兰莱顿世界博物馆（Leiden World Museum）收藏着18世纪70年代初荷兰海牙律师简·西奥多·罗也（Jean Theodore Royer）专门从广州订制和购买的，包括2000多幅绘画作品在内的人工制品，这批私人订制种类繁多，是当年日益繁荣的广州贸易的副产品，更是多重历史的产物。它既是18世纪西方世界罕见的关于遥远中国的知识研究型收集，反映了17—18世纪荷兰的科学发展和文化追求，尤其是罗也藏品中的绘画图册，作为18世纪中叶之后日益成熟的广州外销画作品，凸显出日益明显的外销画特点，是近代早期中西美术交流史上的重要作品；也是具有重要文化价值的历史记录。
“Royer Albums” are Cantonese export albums which now are kept at the Leiden World Museum. Many of albums can be dated to the 1770s. The Albums represent the largest number and widest variety of such works. This paper discusses the manufacturing progress，and points out that “Royer Albums” suggest the mature period of Cantonese export paintings after the Mid-18th century，highlighting the increasingly obvious characteristics of export paintings；At the same time，as important work in the early modern history of Chinese and Western art exchanges，“Royer Albums” are important visual culture and historical record shared by China and the West.
