The image is a black and white photograph collage of four separate scenes depicting the restoration of the outer walls of the Forbidden City in Beijing, China (latitude: 39.882, longitude: 116.407). The top left image shows a wooden scaffolding structure, possibly a portion of the outer wall. The bottom left image shows a section of the outer wall with a group of workers standing in front, presumably involved in the restoration process. The top right image shows a group of people standing in front of a partially-constructed wall, potentially the outer wall.  The bottom right image shows workers standing on scaffolding, constructing a portion of a wall, possibly part of the Forbidden City outer walls.  All four images show the use of traditional methods and materials for construction, as evidenced by the use of scaffolding, bricklaying, and traditional tools. The images are titled in Chinese, but the context of the image makes it clear that they depict the restoration of the Forbidden City's outer walls. The captions are translated to: "Long Corridor Started Construction," "Long Corridor Exterior Still Under Construction," "Outer Wall North-South Wall Restoration," and "Construction of the Heavenly Gates."
