EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Chinese Question, the Beginning of the British Occupation of Wei-Hai-Wei, the Departure of HMS 'Narcissus' and the Destroyer 'Fame' from Chefoo on 20 May" transports us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases a powerful British fleet departing from Chefoo on their mission to occupy Wei-Hai-Wei during the Boxer Rebellion. In this black and white scene, we witness several ships flying their flags proudly as they set sail towards their destination. Among them are HMS Narcissus and the destroyer Fame, led by Rear Admiral Dubassoff. These vessels stand as symbols of naval might and determination. The barren rockyland surrounding Chefoo serves as a stark contrast to the bustling maritime activity taking place in its waters. The presence of other notable ships such as IPHIGENIA, GRAFTON, CENTURION, BARFLEUR further emphasizes Britain's commitment to securing its interests in Asia. This engraving captures not only a historical event but also represents an era marked by colonial ambitions and geopolitical tensions. It reminds us of the complex dynamics between Western powers and China during this period. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's collection, we are reminded that history is shaped by moments like these – where nations assert their dominance or seek control over foreign territories.
