This drawing is described as: “55 Lui-fung-ta, the Temple of the thundering Winds, this building is situated near the Lake Sihou, by the City of Hang-tcheou fou. & is said to have been built prior to the famous great Wall, therefore it must have stood more than 2000 Years.” A drawing by Alexander of the temple of the thundering winds, set within a much more extensive landscape than that in the BM watercolour and seen from below, was engraved for Staunton’s “Account”.
