Description
"Shan Hai Kuan, Mountain Sea Barrier The mountains run abreast of the sea - a narrow flat piece between sea and mountain where the wall started at Gulf of Liao Tong". Landscape with the Great Wall of China, it shows the wall winding along a hill ridge and disappearing into the distance. This is Shanhaiguan, one of the major passes of the Great wall and the frontier defence against Manchurian tribes. ❧ This image belongs to an album of photographs collected by Dr. Stevenson and includes images from India, China and Africa.
