Description:
- This preparatory drawing shows an oblique bird's-eye view for the north side of Fallingwater, a three-storey single-family dwelling designed as a part masonry, part cantilevered concrete slab construction. Rough quarry stone walls form a series of staggered blind screens which protect the privacy of the family sleeping quarters on the second and third floors. A broad concrete slab (later built as concrete trellis beams) serves doubly as bridge and canopy over the main entrance below.

Description:
- This photograph is one in a series of views which Felice Beato made of the four Taku Forts (Harris, p. 139; Worswick, p. 138). This view shows the inside of the fort at the point where the French forces entered (Harris, pp. 140-141). - The title of a published identical image, "The Great North Fort at Taku, at the mouth of the Pei-ho, August 21, 1860" is inaccurate, as 'Great North Fort at Taku' is an alternate name for the larger Lower (also known as the 2nd) North Taku Fort and not the Upper North Taku Fort depicted in this image ('The Face of China', p. 33; Harris, p. 142).
