A closer shot of the same polygonal tower with its pointed tin spire and two smaller turrets beside it, wrapped by an arcaded balcony and a round little window — the same tower already glimpsed in the distance in exhibit No. 76. Seen up close, even more signs of ruin appear: the top-floor windows along the roofline stand open and broken, their frames hanging askew, while the windows on the lower floors are boarded with pale planks. In front, the same construction-site fencing appears again.
This photograph is the second in the series showing the palace's condition at the time of acquisition: the closer one gets to the building, the clearer it becomes how much work lay ahead. The same tower whose silhouette adorned dozens of postcards and photographs in this exhibition since the late 19th century now stands battered, its windows empty and broken where light once shone.
Like the previous exhibit, this is a real, already-coloured frame, so the animation doesn't colour anything — the camera merely turns and moves slightly closer to the top of the tower, as if surveying where the restoration work would have to begin.
