Mounted photograph of a ceiling beam designed by Rateau, showing details of carvings. This particular beam has not been located at Leeds Castle. Numbered 31/16. Mount stamped A. A. Rateau, 17 Quai Conti, Paris VI, Tel. Danton 85 81.
The photographs in series PH15 were formerly part of an album presented by Rateau to Olive Wilson Filmer on 10 May 1930 to mark the end of his work at Leeds Castle. Notes in the Leeds Castle archive catalogue indicate that there were originally two albums, which over time were broken up and the contents mixed up or dispersed.
