DescriptionApparently a view of the famous terrace of this temple, which juts out over a hillside and offers spectacular views. (For a late nineteenth-century photograph of this part of the temple, see accession no. 2003.33.1.37). A snowy day that precludes any view into the distance. The print is dry-mounted on poor quality cardboard, but has been protected from acid stain by the mounting tissue. Lyn believes that the cardboard can be removed but the mounting tissue might need to be left.
