The Wreck of a Chinese Armada (litho)

Image description: The Wreck of a Chinese Armada. Kubai Khan, the first Mongol Emperor of China, decided to annex Japan, and in 1280 sent against it a huge armada, which met with precisely the same fate that befell another and more famous expedition of the kind. It was totally destroyed by a storm, and of the hundred thousand men who set out to conquer only one or two out of every ten got back to Korea. Illustration for Hutchinson's History of the Nations (Hutchinson, c.1920). Note: Image has been digitally enhanced to facilitate repro.
