early european accounts were mostly modest and empirical, closely mirroring contemporary chinese understanding of the wall. however, when the ming great wall began to take on a shape recognizable today, foreign accounts of the wall slid into hyperbole. in the "atlas sinensis" published in 1665, the jesuit martino martini described elaborate but atypical stretches of the great wall and generalized such fortifications across the whole northern frontier. furthermore, martini erroneously identified the ming wall as the same wall built by qin shi huang in the 3rd century bc, thereby exaggerating both the wall's antiquity and its size. this misconception was compounded by the "china illustrata" of father athanasius kircher (160280), which provided pictures of the great wall as imagined by a european illustrator. all these and other accounts from missionaries in china contributed to the orientalism of the eighteenth century, in which a mythical china and its exaggerated great wall feature prominently. the french philosopher voltaire (16941774), for example, frequently wrote about the great wall, although his feelings towards it oscillate between unreserved admiration and condemnation of it as a "monument to fear". the macartney embassy of 1793 passed through the great wall at gubeikou on the way to see the qianlong emperor in chengde, who was there for the annual imperial hunt. one of the embassy's members, john barrow, later founder of the royal geographical society, spuriously calculated that the amount of stone in the wall was equivalent to "all the dwelling houses of england and scotland" and would suffice to encircle the earth at the equator twice. the illustrations of the great wall by lieutenant henry william parish during this mission would be reproduced in influential works such as thomas allom's 1845 "china, in a series of views".
