About this work

Diaphanoramas are particularly suited to scenes with a lot of spatial depth, such as landscapes and naval battles. Interiors were also popular subjects. This naval battle consists of three glass plates painted on both sides, which the maker has effectively used to evoke a strong sense of recession.
