EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Civil War in China, HMS 'Hermes' in the Yang-tze-Kiang River" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The scene depicts a night-time battle on the Yang-tze-Kiang River during the civil war in 19th century China. The British warship, HMS 'Hermes', stands tall amidst the chaos and unrest that engulfs the river. In this dramatic portrayal, we witness a clash between imperialist forces and Chinese rebels fighting for their cause. The image captures both action and agitation as shells explode around them, illuminating the darkened sky. A traditional Chinese tailor can be seen observing from his shopfront, symbolizing how ordinary lives were affected by this conflict. The artist skillfully portrays the maritime setting with great attention to detail - from the choppy waters of the river to a Tartar fire raft approaching ominously from afar. This print not only showcases historical events but also highlights cultural elements such as traditional dress worn by some figures present. As we delve into this artwork, it becomes evident that it is more than just an illustration; it serves as a window into an era of turmoil and change in Asia's coastal regions. Through blurred motion and dynamic composition, we are transported back to witness this pivotal moment firsthand. "The Civil War in China, HMS 'Hermes' in the Yang-tze-Kiang River" offers us an opportunity to reflect on past conflicts while appreciating its artistic value
