Ruins of the Great Wall-linocuts

I am currently working on a project to depict ruined buildings and structures from along the Great Wall(s) of China, and other areas in Central Asia. My plan is to use the medium of linocut and also cardboard etching, and produce the same image as a relief print and also as an etching.

The first iteration of the linocut works is shown below. These images are sourced from photographs taken by Sir Aurel Stein during his travels in Central Asia. Most of the original photos date from 1913/1914.
