EDITORS COMMENTS
The caption for the print of "Sir E Satow received by Captain Burke on Board HMS 'Orlando' at Wusung" could be: "In this lithograph, we witness a historic meeting between two influential figures in maritime history. Sir E Satow, renowned British diplomat and scholar, is warmly received by Captain Burke aboard the majestic HMS 'Orlando' at Wusung. The scene captures a momentous occasion during an era when Western powers sought to establish their presence in Asia. The artist, Henry Charles Seppings Wright, skillfully brings to life the grandeur of the ship and its surroundings. The intricate details showcase the opulence of naval architecture while also highlighting cultural elements from China. This engraving was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on 22 December 1900, providing readers with a glimpse into this significant event. As Sir E Satow disembarks onto Chinese soil, one can imagine the exchange of ideas and diplomatic discussions that took place between these two distinguished men. Their encounter symbolizes both cooperation and competition as nations vied for influence in Asia during this transformative period. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to the power of visual storytelling and offers us a window into an important chapter in global history. "
