- Title:
- No. 58. The Siege in Peking. In the British Legation. Outside view of the Legation gate, with Nordenfeldt gun and barricades. The wall across the street in the distance is the wall of the Imperial city. It was pierced by the Chinese soldiers, and a cannon, protected by iron shields, placed there. The buildings along the wall at the right were also occupied by soldiers and 'Boxers' who, from this position, kept up an incessant rifle fire. Photographer: Killie, Charles A.
