The Battle of Yalu River, 1894 - A Fierce Naval Confrontation
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the intensity and chaos of "The Battle of Yalu River" during the Sino-Japanese War in 1894. Illustrated by Archibald Forbes, G. A. Henty, and Major Arthur Griffiths, this lithograph showcases a pivotal moment in history. In this dramatic scene, warships from the Imperial Japanese Navy and the Chinese Beiyang Fleet clash fiercely on September 17th. The battle rages on as flames engulf one ship while others engage in a relentless bombardment. The air is thick with tension as both sides confront each other head-on. Known also as the Battle of Haiyang Island or Dadonggou, this naval engagement marked a significant propaganda victory for Japan. As depicted in this engraving by William Heysham Overend, it portrays not only the ferocity but also the devastation caused by warfare. The defeat suffered by the Chinese fleet was a turning point in their struggle against Meiji Japan's control over Korea. This historic event played a crucial role in shaping East Asian politics at that time. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Fine Art Finder's Stapleton Collection, we are reminded of the sacrifices made and lives lost during these conflicts that shaped our world today. It serves as an important reminder to learn from history and strive for peace amidst confrontation and conflict.
