A Flickr user named manhhai has uploaded 13 photographs of the Imperial City of Huế from the 19th century. These images were captured by a French military cartographer living in Indochina at that time.
The photographs of the Imperial City of Huế were taken between 1896 and 1900. The image depicts Xung Khiêm Tạ in the garden of the Tomb of Emperor Tự Đức.
