Summary
| Description |
English: Drawing by William Alexander, draughtsman of the Macartney Embassy to China in 1793. A Chinese soldier of infantry, or tiger of war. The European missionaries have denominated them 'tigers of war', from their dress, which has some resemblance to that animal; being striped and having ears on the cap. He holds a scimitar and shield made of wicker or basket-work. On the shield is the face of a monster to intimidate the enemy. Image taken from The Costume of China, illustrated in forty-eight coloured engravings, published in London in 1805. |
