Felice Beato photographed the Taku (Dagu) Forts at the mouth of the Peiho River within days of their capture by Anglo-French forces on 21 August 1860, during the Second Opium War. This view marks the angle of the ramparts where French troops broke through after an exploding powder magazine breached the Chinese defences. Beato's sequence of images from the campaign is regarded as the first extended photographic narrative of a battle as it unfolded.
