Painting HMS Terrible

The Upper Deck of HMS Terrible as seen from the Fore Bridge Looking Aft

In order to obtain these unique illusrations, the camera was first placed at the starboard end of the fore bridge, and the picture seen on the left made; the camera was then carried over to the port side and a corresponding view taken.  The funnels, mast, and ensign staff are, of course, the same in each picture.  The fore bridge is more than 70ft in length and some 50ft above the water.
