Felice Beato
The J. Paul Getty Museum
Los Angeles, United States
Beato made this image not only to celebrate the capture of South Taku Fort, but also to commemorate an earlier episode in the Second Opium War. On June 25, 1859, 89 British sailors were killed and another 252 wounded in the mudflats below the fort. The military atlas includes detailed studies of the Chinese defense.
