The Occupation of Jiuliancheng in China by our Soldiers

Utagawa Kunisada III (1848–1920), Japan, 1894, colour woodcut

The Japanese army made rapid progress. At the end of October 1894 the fortified town of Jiuliancheng in Manchuria was captured. The Chinese army had retreated, thus it could be taken without a struggle. This propagandistic depiction portrays the pullout as a flight in blind panic.
