Twee gezichten op de kust bij Mantsjoerije Possibly 1894

"Twee gezichten op de kust bij Mantsjoerije" (Two Views of the Coast at Manchuria) is a photographic print created by the Ordnance Survey Office, possibly in 1894. The artwork consists of two images: a panoramic view of a coastline with a ship in the distance, and a close-up view of a pier, emphasizing its structural detail. These images likely served as a visual record of the coastline, documenting the landscape of Manchuria for the Ordnance Survey Office. The use of photography as a documentation tool was a key aspect of surveying and cartography during the late 19th century, and this artwork offers a glimpse into this process.
