China, Hong Kong map--Heath, Leopold G. HONG KONG &C. AS SEEN FROM THE ANCHORAGE. [SOUTHAMPTON:] HYDROGRAPHIC OFFICE OF THE ADMIRALTY, MAY 4TH 1847 (BUT LATER), 3 ENGRAVED VIEWS ON ONE DOUBLE-PAGE SHEET, THE IMAGE OF EACH APPROX. 130 X 705MM., THE SHEET 560 X 705MM. The earliest Admiralty survey of Hong Kong harbour was carried out in 1841; this set of three panoramas was commissioned as a companion, drawn by Lieutenant (later Admiral) Leopold Heath in 1846 and published in 1847. Taken from a vantage point aboard HMS Iris anchored centrally in the harbour they combine to form an overlapping 360-degree panorama of the harbour, one of the very earliest (and among the most important) delineations of the town and harbour.
