The couplet on the columns was one written by the Canton viceroy, Zhang Zhidong 張之洞 (1837-1909) for the Guangya Academy 廣雅書院, which he found in 1888. His name is in the line of small characters on the left of the left column. So the photograph was taken in the Guangya Academy, which is now the Guangdong Guangya High School (广东广雅中学), in Guangzhou.
