Description
Original 1901 illustrated leaf from Harper\'s Monthly Magazine featuring \"The Tide That Rushed from the River-Bank,\" a dramatic crowd scene accompanying Chester Bailey Fernald\'s story In the Mixing of the Waters.
The illustration depicts a dense Chinese street crowd during a period of unrest and foreign intervention in China at the turn of the twentieth century. The story was written in the immediate aftermath of the Boxer Rebellion era and reflects contemporary Western fascination with events in East Asia.
An attractive historical image with strong visual appeal for collectors of China, Asian history, military subjects, Boxer Rebellion material, and antique magazine illustration.
