Getting started with the collection:
View of Nagasaki Bay
Antoon Bauduin (1820-1885), six salted paper and albumen prints, c. 1865
This panoramic view of Nagasaki consists of six separate shots. Bauduin is thought to have taken them, and it corresponds to the view from his house on Dejima. In it, the bay appears much wider than it really was. This is an optical deformation arising from taking six shots from the same position.
