An episode in the revolutionary war in China, 1911: the revolutionary army attacking Nanking (?) crosses a stream by night and is picked out by enemy arc lights. Chromolithograph by T. Miyano.

[Japan], [between 1900 and 1999]

1 print : chromolithograph ; image 37.8 x 46.2 cm

Continues the tradition of war prints issued at the time of the Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895)and the Russo-Japanese War (1905), but those were woodblock prints. Here, the traditional technique has been abandoned in favour of western-style lithography. Perhaps intended for export to China
