Twee gezichten op forten te China Possibly 1894

This photogravure, "Twee gezichten op forten te China", was created by the Ordnance Survey Office around 1894 and depicts two views of Chinese forts. The image likely documents the construction of fortifications in China during the Qing Dynasty. The photogravure technique, which uses light and chemicals to produce a print, was a popular method for reproducing photographs in the 19th century. This artwork provides a valuable glimpse into the architectural and military landscape of China during a time of significant change.
