Different characters are pictured, e.g.: - French and Japanese armies (or soldiers) and leaders; - torture scenes. Dimensions (various, the biggest): 12,2 x 16,9 cm Note: The Boxer Rebellion was an anti-foreign, anti-colonial, and anti-Christian uprising in China between 1899 and 1901, towards the end of the Qing dynasty, by the Militia United in Righteousness (Yìhéquán), known as the Boxers in English. After the Sino-Japanese War of 1895 villagers in North China feared the expansion of foreign spheres of influence and resented the extension of privileges to Christian missionaries, who used them to shield their followers. Beginning in 1899, Boxers spread violence across Shandong and the North China Plain, destroying foreign property such as railroads. An Eight Nation Alliance of American, Austro-Hungarian, British, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Russian troops moved into China to tame this rebellion. 中国黑白相片集拍摄于中国，约1900年 NOTE: CONDITION REPORTS AND MEASUREMENTS It is up to the bidder to satisfy themselves prior to buying as to the condition of a lot.
