Description
English:

The capture of the Taku forts by Anglo-French troops, led by Lord Elgin and Baron Gros, was the decisive battle in a war that was but one episode in the long struggle by the Western nations to open China to trade. The Anglo-French soldiers stormed the forts on August 21, 1860, after an explosion destroyed the powder magazine of the Great North Fort; the Chinese defenders fought to the last man.

Beato's photographs, made inside the fort, show the carnage with a brutal directness. Less than two months later he would take probably the only photographs ever made of the interior of the summer palace north of Peking, before it was destroyed by fire, by order of Lord Elgin.
中文（繁體）：

英法聯軍奪佔大沽砲台，由英法公使額爾金、葛羅引領下，是戰事中西方國家跟中國長期鬥爭，以此打開中國通商大門關鍵決勝的一戰。英法士兵在1860年8月21日攻進砲台，在一場爆炸之後炸毀了北砲台的火藥庫，中國守兵戰到最後一人。

比特的照片從砲台內拍攝，展示了直接殘酷的屠殺。而不到兩個月的時間，他將可能拍到有史以來北京圓明園的唯一遺照，就是在它毀於被額爾金下令燒毀的一場大火之前。
