Comments - Dramatic scene of Koreans attacking the Japanese legation in Korea during an uprising known as the Imo Incident, which took place on July 23, 1882. The building is engulfed in flames, with clouds, smoke and burning embers flying through the air. Under a hail of arrows, Japanese rush out of the fenced courtyard to defend themselves, fighting in the streets with swords as rioting continues all around. A fantastic, historic subject with wonderful detail and lively color. The Boston Museum of Fine Arts has this image in its collection.
