He covered all the exotic places that Victorian adventurers were passionate about but I am particularly interested in seeing his images of Israel and Egypt. <br /><br />Do you know if any book of his works has been published? I can't find his name anywhere :(Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9209331331097444102.post-25112943393708476622010-06-26T01:51:12.947+01:002010-06-26T01:51:12.947+01:00Du Juyi (Tu Chu-yi) was the flag-bearer of the att...Du Juyi (Tu Chu-yi) was the flag-bearer of the attackers. He achieved notoriety in the 19C reports as the individual who gave a direct order that five defenceless women of the Church of England Zenana Missionary Society should be killed. The women spoke the local dialect and had begged for their lives and their captors were thinking about sparing them when Tu ordered their deaths. They were stabbed and speared. Four were killed almost instantly. A fifth, Flora Codrington, although badly wounded, survived. <br />The massacre involved an Irish clergyman, Rev. Robert Stewart, his wife, Louisa Smyly Stewart, one of their children, the Irish nursemaid, three Australian young women, two Englishwomen, and two Irishwomen. The episode is described at the Kucheng Massacre although it actually occurred some miles away in a hill village named Huasang, a 'Hill-Station" where the missionaries went for a break in the hot and humid summer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9209331331097444102.post-32725247406168353942010-06-19T20:01:16.657+01:002010-06-19T20:01:16.657+01:00Thank you for that additional information and the ...Thank you for that additional information and the link!Dr Kristan Tetenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12888441669738348470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9209331331097444102.post-65345483186072500292010-04-28T14:22:09.991+01:002010-04-28T14:22:09.991+01:00The tinted photographs of Chinese prisoners date f...The tinted photographs of Chinese prisoners date from 1895. These were men convicted of the 'Kucheng massacre', on 1 August 1895 at Gutian near Fuzhou. This was an incident when a Chinese religious sect (the Cai Hui, or Vegetarian Society) attacked a Protestant mission station, killing a number of foreign men and women and their children. Untinted versions of these and other photographs can be found on the 'Historical Photographs of China' website . The man in the 'crate' is Du Juyi, who was one of the 26 men executed for their alleged role in the affair.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
