BEATO (FELICE)

A 4-part panorama of the British fleet at Odin Bay, albumen print, framed and glazed, overall image to view 220 x 1120mm., Henry Hering, 1862

Footnotes

Beato took a series of photographs, including this panorama, whilst accompanying the British Expeditionary Forces in China during the Second Opium War. This panorama, looking southwest across Odin Bay towards Dalian Bay, shows French and British ships regrouping on their way to Peking from Hong Kong, with the British encampment at Talien-Wan in the foreground. The negatives were created between June 26th and July 21st 1860, but were first printed in 1862 by Henry Hering.
