The early 1900s caption reads: LAST FIGHT OF CHARLES THE BOLD.This Duke of Burgundy had become so rich and powerful as to be greater than most kings. He was the proudest man in Europe, so vain and headstrong that he declared war against both Germany and Switzerland at once. Defeat only made him more obstinate, and at last with only a small remnant of his soldiers he attacked the entire army of his foes at Nancy. He charged repeatedly and furiously, until he was left almost alone. Bewildered and despairing, he kept on dealing savage blows around him, until he fell amid the flight of his follo

Study for 'The Wounded Drummer Boy' Eastman Johnson (American, 1824-1906). Study for 'The Wounded Drummer Boy', ca. 1864-1870. Oil on laminated paperboard, 21 1/2 x 16 3/4 in. (54.6 x 42.5 cm). Eastman Johnson drew his inspiration for this Civil War picture from an incident that reportedly occurred during the Battle of Antietam (1862) in which an injured drummer boy asked a comrade to carry him so that he could continue drumming his unit forward. The emblematic image of a heroic youth literally rising above the chaos of the battlefield resonated deeply with Northern audiences both during and after the war. Johnsons initial drawing of the subject was exhibited in 1864 to foster support for the army, and the finished painting of 1871—for which this work is a preparatory study—helped to commemorate the hope and sacrifice of the Union effort. In this study, the loose brushwork, bright highlights, and lack of detail powerfully evoke the experience of battle—the steady drum beat, the smoke

The Tonkin Campaign (French: Campagne du Tonkin) was an armed conflict fought between June 1883 and April 1886 by the French against, variously, the Vietnamese, Liu Yongfu's Black Flag Army and the Chinese Guangxi and Yunnan armies to occupy Tonkin (northern Vietnam) and entrench a French protectorate there. The campaign, complicated in August 1884 by the outbreak of the Sino-French War and in July 1885 by the Can Vuong nationalist uprising in Annam, which required the diversion of large numbers of French troops, was conducted by the Tonkin Expeditionary Corps, supported by the gunboats of the Tonkin Flotilla. The campaign officially ended in April 1886, when the expeditionary corps was reduced in size to a division of occupation, but Tonkin was not effectively pacified until 1896.
