EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "The eaglets attack on Chinese junks at Toong-Chung" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into an extraordinary event. Published in the Illustrated London News on May 16,1857, this hand-coloured print showcases a dramatic scene that unfolded in the bustling harbours of China. In this vibrant artwork, we witness a fierce encounter between The Eaglets, a group of unknown assailants, and Chinese junks anchored at Toong-Chung. The attackers' motives remain shrouded in mystery as they launch their assault with calculated precision. The chaotic battle unfolds amidst stunning scenery – picturesque bays dotted with boats serving as witnesses to this unexpected clash. Transportation plays a significant role in this illustration; it serves as both the backdrop and catalyst for the unfolding events. Boats of various sizes fill the harbor while passengers observe from afar or scramble for safety amid the chaos. This depiction not only captures an intense moment but also provides insight into Asian culture and its means of transport during that era. Hand-coloured using Victorian techniques, this print exudes historical charm and invites viewers to delve deeper into its narrative. As we gaze upon this intriguing artwork from Bernard Platman Antiquarian Collection, our imagination is sparked by questions about what led to such an audacious attack on these Chinese junks at Toong-Chung all those years ago.
