Photograph of a mosque, with a caption that reads: 'Mahomedan Mosque, Canton. The building here represented bounds the opposite side of the Court-yard given in View 32 [HK HSBCPH 0140-0006-0027-0032]. As a specimen of native Architecture the picture is worth careful study, the surrounding stone-work also being by no means unartistic. Overgrown as the premises have, owing to neglect, become they still remain highly interesting examples of native taste'.
