Description:
- Felice Beato made several views of this temple complex, showing stone doorways and walls, stelae, a stone altar set, and the tomb itself (Harris, pp. 97-99, cat. nos. 52-54). - This photograph, taken in the inner section of the tomb complex, shows an altar set comprising two stone altars: one supporting the five stone vessels visible in the foreground, and a second altar, of uncertain purpose, surmounted by at least two carved stone "pineapples", visible behind (Paludan, p. 187; p. 189, fig. 200). The dome-like tomb itself is just visible in the background, behind a candlestick, at c.l.

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). - The title of a published identical image, "Interior of the English Entrance to North Fort on August 21st 1860" is inaccurate, as this view shows the inside of the fort at the point where the French forces entered (Harris, pp. 140-141). - The identical image published in Harris (p. 62, cat. no. 17) does not show the crossbow and ladder visible at u.l. in the CCA image, indicating that the published photo was either retouched or is a second (copy) negative (Harris p. 141).
