Engraving, 10 x 23.8 cms on a trimmed newspaper leaf, complete descriptive text, edges a little rough and stained, in good condition. Fine engraving prepared for "The Illustrated London News". The commentary relates the attack of a British engineer, the inspector of lighthouses. The recently completed lighthouse (unfortunately not shown) provoked resentment in the local population, as the workers has been brought from Ningbo. The commentary also mentions the recent murder of the British diplomat Augustus Raymond Margary (and his staff) in February 1875, whilst scoping potential overland trade routes between British India and China's provinces provoked a diplomatic crisis with China. From the Estate of the late collector and scholar Arthur Hacker.
