Four engravings prepared for "The Graphic" illlustrated newspaper by the noted engraver (and photographer) Horace Harral (1817-1905). Prominent in the mosaic layout is the portrait of Li Hongzhang, then Viceroy of Zhili. The 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. It handed the British authorities an excuse to put pressure on the Qing government and hastened the build up of Chinese troops and armaments. War was averted with the negotiaton of the Yantai Treaty (Chefoo Convention) signed by Li and British diplomat Sir Thomas Wade. The four captioned engravings: 1. Chinese soldiers; 2. Chinese gunboat on the Upper Yangtse-Kiang River; 3. Li-Hung-Chang, Governor-General of Peichihli, Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army; 4. Interior of a Workshop, Nanking Arsenal.
