It is no easy matter to get views in the northern capital, the people are very inquisitive, and will sometimes resort to the playful pastime of stone throwing, or by crowding around the Photographers dark tent they will quite obscure the light with their interesting countenances, for these reasons the assistance of a foreign constable is sometimes necessary to keep the crowds back. The large Chinese characters paintes on the wall and prominent in the view, is an announcement of the good things procurable at the restaurant, that adjoins it. The white pagoda is in the middle distance. |

It is no easy matter to get views in the northern capital, the people are very inquisitive, and will sometimes resort to the playful pastime of stone throwing, or by crow-ding around the Photographers dark tent they will quite obscure the light with their interesting countenances, for these reasons the assistance of a foreign constable is sometimes necessary to keep
the crowds back.
The large Chinese characters painted on the wall and so prominent in the view, is an announcement of the good timings procurable at the restaurant, that adjoins it.
The white pagoda is in the middle distance.
