EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, titled "The Attack on the Peiho Forts by the English and French Fleets" transports us back to a significant event in history. Created by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century, this print showcases a pivotal moment during the Second Opium War. The scene depicts an intense battle between the powerful naval forces of England and France against Chinese defenders at the Peiho River forts. The English fleet, including renowned ships like Dragonne, Maritime, Royal Navy's Avalanche, and French fleet's Cormorant and Severn are seen fiercely engaging with their cannons blazing. The attackers demonstrate their staunch determination as they face off against formidable Chinese defenses. This historic illustration was originally published in The Illustrated London News on August 28th, 1858. It serves as a visual narrative of this crucial conflict that took place near Taku Forts (Peiho Forts) along China's Hai River.
