EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving depicts a pivotal moment in the First Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895), specifically the Battle of Ping-Yang that took place on September 15, 1894. The battle, also known as the Battle of Pyongyang, was a significant victory for the Japanese army under the command of General Yamagata Aritomo and Marshal Iwamori Toshimichi. In the image, we see the Japanese forces charging towards a Chinese position, their determination etched on their faces. The Chinese soldiers, representing the Qing Dynasty, are shown defending their ground with resolve, some brandishing swords and others waving their flags. Horses and elephants are also present, adding to the chaotic and intense atmosphere of the battlefield. The Battle of Ping-Yang was a turning point in the war, with the Japanese gaining control of the strategic port city of Pyongyang, which was then part of Korea. The victory boosted the morale of the Japanese army and paved the way for their eventual triumph in the war. This engraving is a testament to the courage and determination of the soldiers on both sides during this historic conflict. The vibrant colors bring the scene to life, transporting us back in time to witness the unfolding events of this important chapter in Asian history.
