Collection of 8 illustrated pages from English and French periodicals relating to the Shimonoseki campaign. B

Price: $180.00

Note: The Shimonoseki campaign refers to a series of military engagements in 1863 and 1864, fought to control Shimonoseki Straits of Japan by joint naval forces from Great Britain, France, the Netherlands and the United States, against the Japanese feudal domain of Chōshū, which took place off t-jpc825a1JPC 825t-jpc825a2JPC 825and on the coast of Shimonoseki, Japan. Right after the foreign interventions, the Shogunal government also launched its own preparations for a punitive expedition against Chōshū, the First Chōshū expedition. The expedition was aimed at punishing the 1864 Kinmon incident in which Chōshū forces attacked Shogunal forces in Kyoto. The expedition was however cancelled after a compromise was brokered, involving the beheading of the leaders of the rebellion. At the same time as this campaign, the British Royal Navy engaged Satsuma samurai at the Bombardment of Kagoshima, one of the several engagements of the Japanese conflict of 1863 and 1864.

A set of 21 American strip cards titled The Nightmare of Warfare. This subset focuses on the Japanese invasion of China. Rare. m

Price: $630.00

Note: The anonymous strip card series entitled “The Nightmare of Warfare” was a copycat version of Gum, Inc.’s more elaborate “Horrors of War” set. The design on coloration of the cards and the intentional pirating of titles and text from a competitor all point to the W.S. Corporation as the producer. The artwork is limited to black silhouettes set against yellow backgrounds, with an occasional red accent thrown in. The vertically-aligned backs have the set title, card number, a “series of 48” line, card title, and text – all printed in black ink on gray stock. Since these are strip cards, one or two edges on all cards will be rouletted.
