EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the representatives of British power in China during the Boxer Rebellion. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image is part of a private collection and was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on June 16,1900. The photograph depicts several ships sailing through Chinese waters, symbolizing the maritime dominance of the Royal Navy's presence in China. Among these vessels are HMS Centurion, a twin-screw torpedo boat destroyer; HMS Whiting; HMS Algerine; and HMS Phoenix. These ships served as flagships for Vice Admiral Sir E. H. Seymour and Sir Claude MacDonald, who commanded British forces during this tumultuous period. The image also features prominent figures such as the British ambassador to China and various naval officers. Notable individuals include Knight Commander Sir Claude MacDonald and Vice Admiral Sir E. H. Seymour. This photograph provides a glimpse into the military might exerted by Britain during its colonial era in Asia. It serves as a reminder of both historical events like the Boxer Rebellion and Britain's imperial influence across continents.
