EDITORS COMMENTS
In Peaceless China (Colour Litho) captures a chaotic and dramatic scene unfolding on the Yang-Bee steamer in the Bay of Bias, known as the den of Chinese piracy. This print by Achille Beltrame depicts a moment when numerous pirates, who had cunningly hidden among the passengers, suddenly reveal themselves and seize control of the ship. The image showcases a fierce struggle taking place on multiple decks of the vessel. Men and women alike are caught up in this terrifying ordeal, fighting for their lives against armed pirates. The captain and his crew desperately try to regain control while navy officers bravely join forces with passengers to resist these ruthless invaders. Beltrame's attention to detail brings this battle scene to life, portraying every aspect from boarding actions to intense hand-to-hand combat. The artist skillfully captures the fear and determination etched onto each face as they confront their adversaries. This artwork not only highlights the dangers faced by those traveling through South China Sea but also serves as a testament to human resilience in times of crisis. It reminds us that even amidst chaos and conflict, individuals can come together in solidarity against common threats. Through this powerful illustration, Beltrame transports us back to an era where piracy was rampant and survival depended on courage and unity.
