Our Army Attacks Enemy Troops at Jiuliancheng, 1894

Comments - Terrific illustration from the Sino-Japanese War showing the fierce battle at Jiuliancheng (Kyuren-jo in Japanese). Meiji Imperial forces attack a fortress, with officers on horseback urging their troops forward with waving swords. The sky explodes with bursting shells, sending out orange flames and clouds of smoke. A general melee ensues with heavy fighting outside the stone walls. A great depiction capturing the intensity of the battle, beautifully drawn and shaded. The Boston Museum of Fine Arts has this image in its collection.
