EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic scene of the Burning of the Palace of the Empress in Beijing during the Boxer Rebellion. Created by an anonymous French School artist in the 20th century, this colour lithograph showcases a pivotal moment in history. In this chaotic image, we see French Colonel Jean-Baptiste Marchand leading rescue operations amidst the raging fire that engulfs the imperial palace. The destruction caused by this rebellion is evident as soldiers and Chinese civilians work together to salvage what they can from the burning structure. The intensity of this historical event is palpable through every brushstroke and vivid color choice. It serves as a powerful reminder of both human resilience and devastation during times of conflict. Published as an illustration for Le Petit Journal on May 5,1901, this artwork offers a glimpse into one chapter of China's tumultuous past. The bravery displayed by Colonel Marchand and his combat unit exemplifies international cooperation amid chaos. As we observe this photograph today, it not only provides us with insight into a significant moment in Chinese history but also highlights France's involvement in Asia during that era. This image serves as a testament to our shared global heritage and reminds us to learn from our collective past experiences.
