Apart from the fact that it is a magnificent composition it also shows the method of construction. Every plate and component was fabricated off-site, drilled and assembled using nuts-and-bolts. In a sense it was a giant "Meccano set". It was then ...

We have always liked China and have between 2 and 4 small groups of material each of which possibly includes material by this same circle of late 1850s photographers working near Shanghai. You could have a look if you think it would be helpful.
