Notes

General Note:
This battle scene shows the outdated ships of the Chinese navy attacking the heavily armoured Japanese ships. Cannons are fired from the Dagu forts where Qing military officials view the ongoing battle. The inscription reads: "The 20th of the fifth lunar month. News has been received. Our navy is protecting the seas. There was a sudden appearance of ten boats belonging to the Allies. It was fortunate that China could defend herself with a tight blockade and to immediately open fire. The Japanese suffered great losses and retreated." This particular print recounts an incident from the Boxer Rebellion. Tianjin and Peking were the strongholds of the Boxers. During the early part of 1900 the Boxers inflicted heavy losses on the Allied troops. In retaliation the Allies attacked the Dagu forts. The successful defending by the Chinese Imperial navy was short-lived and by mid-June the fort had fallen into Allied hands. This event marked a turning point in the Boxer Rebellion and brought the Qing dynasty yet another step closer to its downfall.
