Resumo
Letterpress continues: 'This view represents a portion of the Shameen or foreign settlement at Canton at the point where the tornado first struck. The house on the left is the German Consulate; it is a very substantially built residence, and owing to this, the house escaped any severe internal injury, though the roof was nearly stripped. The boundary wall, which is of granite, was reduced to the state of ruin seen in the picture, and the beautiful trees and shrubs for which Shameen was noted was almost totally destroyed. The houses to the right were also very much injured.'. Photographer: Unknown.
