between 6 October and 18 October 1860
- The inscription at l.c.: "The same", refers to photograph PH1986:0901:022 which immediately precedes this photograph in album PH1986:0901:001-045 and which is another view showing part of the Garden of the Clear Ripples [Qing Yi Yuan] (now known as the Summer Palace or Yihe Yuan).
- The title of a published identical image, "The Great Imperial Palace, Yuen Ming Yuen, before the Burning, Pekin" is inaccurate, as Yuen Ming Yuen (now Yuanming Yuan) [Garden of Perfect Clarity], though near the Garden of the Clear Ripples [Qing Yi Yuan] (now known as the Summer Palace or Yihe Yuan), is a separate garden complex (Naquin, pp. 312-314).
