as characteristic elements in some of the finest views of the Chinese capital; their
wonderful setting amidst old buildings, fresh trees, and decaying moats; and their
decorative architectural character. The photographs are the result of long and
repeated studies aiming at the presentation of these monuments of Chinese history in
