EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The 'Black Flags' in Formosa, constructing a Bamboo Bridge across the Lagoon, by which to retreat when the Japanese attack the Forts" showcases a historical moment captured by William Heysham Overend. The engraving depicts an intense scene where the Black Flags of Formosa are seen diligently constructing a bamboo bridge over a lagoon. This bridge serves as their escape route in case of an imminent attack from the Japanese on the forts. The image transports us back to 1895, providing us with a glimpse into street scenes during that time period. The bustling activity is evident as carts and people fill the streets while this crucial construction takes place. It offers insight into not only military strategies but also everyday life in Taiwan (then known as Formosa). As tensions rise between these two forces, this news item published in The Illustrated London News on June 8th adds depth and context to our understanding of this historical event. W. H Overend's illustration masterfully captures both the urgency and determination of those involved. This print from Bridgeman Images allows viewers to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance. It serves as a reminder of past conflicts and highlights how art can immortalize important moments for future generations to reflect upon.
