Lettering

The allies in China: the execution of three anti-foreign officials in Paoting-Fu. Drawn by F. de Haenen from a sketch by a British officer ... Lettering continues: "The International Commission, which was given full powers of life and death as regards the rebels at Paoting fu, sentenced three principal offenders to death. These were the Fentai, who did nothing to protect the Europeans and Christians, or to prevent the massacres of missionaries; the Tartar governor who encouraged and organised the Boxer movement; and the colonel of cavalry, Wen Chen Quan, who allowed the missionary Bagnall, his wife, and little girl to be massacred when they sought protection in his camp"
