Légende

The Japanese at Port Arthur, 1895. First Sino-Japanese War. 'From a Sketch by an Artist with the Japanese Forces. The Japanese advanced through the main street of the town, after taking the inland forts. Houses on both sides were looted, and the street was strewn from end to end with debris. In the roadway were chests burst open, broken chairs and crockery, umbrellas, fans, shoes, oil lamps, dead dogs and cats - a melancholy spectacle of wreckage'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
