A pierhead painting depicting a starboard near broadside view, taken from just ahead of the beam, of the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company passenger/cargo liner Chusan (1852) under way off a coast. She is shown under steam with most of her sails set but the main course and the fore and main topgallants are furled. There are two versions of this painting on the negative, one being darker than the other. A museum copy transparency of two photographic prints in the P & O Collection.
