"The Skirmish of the Japanese Mounted Scouts near Toochingtse" is a black and white illustration created by the Ordnance Survey Office before 1895. It depicts a scene of a battle where Japanese soldiers on horseback are riding away from the scene of battle and fallen comrades. The illustration, likely a sketch, has a rough quality and suggests a sense of chaos. The illustration is a powerful visual representation of the First Sino-Japanese War. The artwork's size, 202 mm high and 282 mm wide, makes it a compelling, intimate view of a key historical moment.
