Comments - Intriguing image from the Sino-Japanese War of a Chinese man carrying a white flag of truce as he approaches the open ground. Shots streak across the sky, hitting one of the Chinese and knocking him backwards while a third man crouches behind the flagbearer, his hand thrown out in alarm. A Japanese general waits astride a white horse at left, a bugler sounding a call beside him. The figure on horseback at far left appears to be a civilian, perhaps a reporter, dressed in a plaid coat with a fur collar. A fascinating subject with fine bokashi shading, touches of burnishing, and delicate cloth embossing in the white flag.
