The War in Eastern Asia: men-of-war anchored off Chefoo - a sketch from the shore, 1895. Sketch by Mr. J. Fuller, H.M.S. "Aeolus". H.M.S. Daphne. Russian Corvette. Alexandrine (German). Marie (German). Beautemps-Beaupré (French). Yorktown (U.S.A.). Charlestown (U.S.A.). Isly (French). Baltimore (U.S.A.). H.M.S. Aeolus. H.M.S. Undaunted. H.M.S. Severn. H.M.S. Spartan. H.M.S. Gibraltar. Our Illustrations refer to the naval and military operations of the Japanese on the southern shore of the Gulf of Pe-chi-li, the landing of the army on the Shang Tung promontory, and its advance westward along the coast to attack Wei-hai-Wei, of which movements, and the result of the conflict for that important Chinese seaport, we have already given some account...Chefoo, a treaty port where many Europeans reside, has not been attacked. The more recent actions, in Manchuria, to the north of the gulf, where the larger river, Liao-Yang, descends from Mukden to its issue on the seacoast near Niuchuang, have brought the victorious Japanese forces along the road towards Pekin...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
