EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Japanese Troops landing at Chemulpo, 9 September" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Amedee Forestier and published in The Illustrated London News on 3 November 1894, this print captures the intensity of the First Sino-Japanese War. The scene depicts Japanese troops making their way ashore at Chemulpo (now Incheon), Korea. As they disembark from troopships and cruiser Yayeama Kan, their determined expressions reveal the gravity of their mission. Among them is the Imperial Guard and Crown Prince himself, accompanied by a Major of Cavalry. This image not only showcases military might but also highlights the cultural exchange between Japan and Korea during this period. The presence of Korean locals observing these events adds depth to the narrative, emphasizing Asia's interconnectedness. Forestier's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical event to life. From the intricate uniforms worn by Japanese soldiers to the bustling activity on land and sea, every element contributes to an immersive experience for viewers. As we gaze upon this engraving today, it serves as a reminder of past conflicts that have shaped our world. It invites us to reflect on how nations interacted in times of war while celebrating humanity's resilience amidst adversity.
