EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "Admiral Seymour's Retreat on the Tientsin - A Glimpse into History". This lithograph, titled "Admiral Seymour's Retreat on the Tientsin" offers a poignant glimpse into a significant moment in history. Created by Henry Charles Seppings Wright, this print captures the intense atmosphere of Admiral Edward Hobart Seymour's retreat during the Boxer Rebellion in 1900. The image portrays a scene filled with action and tension. Uniformed soldiers mounted on horses can be seen battling amidst billowing dust clouds, their determined expressions reflecting both fear and bravery. The composition skillfully conveys the chaos and urgency of warfare as troops engage in fierce combat. The location is Tientsin (now known as Tianjin), an important city in northern China at that time. This historical event marked a critical turning point during the rebellion when Admiral Seymour's multinational force was forced to retreat after attempting to reach Beijing to rescue besieged foreign diplomats. Wright's masterful engraving technique brings depth and texture to this artwork, enhancing its visual impact. Preserved within private collections, this lithograph serves as a testament to human resilience and sacrifice throughout history. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of the valor displayed by those who fought for their beliefs against all odds—a powerful reminder of our shared past and an everlasting tribute to those who shaped it.
