Description: You are bidding on a huge original antique print from an 1880s illustrated journal. It depicts Battle of Fuzhou on August 23, 1884. The fighting was between the French Far East Fleet and the Fujian Fleet of the Qing dynasty. As the result, the Fujian Fleet, one of the four Chinese regional fleets, was destroyed completely in Mawei Harbor. It is very large (double folio size), measuring approximately 22 x 16 inches (56 x 40.5 cm). The picture fills most of the page, with a caption below. There is unrelated text/photos on the back of this print.The print has a fold in the middle, where it was folded into the magazine long ago. Note that the fold line is clean and undamaged, because it was "tipped" into the binding. This was a luxury binding technique of that era, because the double page prints were free of binding holes down the center.PLEASE NOTE: The print has a hole and related damage in the upper one inch of the picture area (sky in the picture). This could be trimmed. There is also a stain in the lower right white margin area. There are some wrinkles/waves to the other edges of the paper probably from the antique water damage. It is more fragile than most of my prints.. See scan for an accurate view of the condition. This print will come with a Certificate of Authenticity. Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution
