EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Chinese pictorial version of the conflict at Foo-chow: repulse of the French Gun-boats. Taken from The Illustrated London News in 1884, this engraving by the Chinese School showcases an intense naval battle that marked the opening of the Sino-French War. The Battle of Fuzhou, fought on August 23rd, 1884, was a crucial turning point in this war that lasted until April 1885. The image depicts the fierce clash between the Fujian fleet and Admiral Amedee Courbet's Far East Squadron. Warships, battleships, and gunboats fill the scene as soldiers and sailors engage in combat with cannons firing relentlessly. The dockyard at Fou Tcheou serves as a backdrop to this chaotic spectacle. Amidst all this turmoil, one can witness ships sinking and artillery being deployed with precision. The French navy's flagship Volta is seen under siege while attempting to attack but ultimately forced into retreat. Foo Chow (Fuzhou) becomes an arena for both Asian powers to demonstrate their military might during this historic event. This remarkable illustration not only captures a pivotal moment but also provides valuable insight into naval warfare tactics employed during that era. Preserved within a private collection today, this artwork stands as a testament to human resilience and strategic prowess amidst conflict-ridden times. It serves as a reminder of our shared history and offers us an opportunity to reflect upon past events that have shaped
