General View of the Great Wall of China, from the Sea, 1850. Creator: Unknown

General View of the Great Wall of China, from the Sea, 1850. This stupendous work of human labour has its eastern termination on the shore of the Gulf of Leotong, about 120 miles north of the Peiho...Viewed from the water, the terminus appears to consist of a fortress some 300 yards in length, having a large gateway in the southern face, close outside of which, and between it and the sea, is a permanent joss-house, or temple, while the northern end is surmounted by a modern two-storied guardhouse; immediately beneath, the Wall projects seaward...[we] were civilly received by a white-buttoned mandarin and a small party of soldiers, who informed us we were perfectly at liberty to inspect the Wall at our leisure...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
