IMAGE number

Image title
French print in the form of an allegory representing China's position in the Boxer War vis à vis the Westerners: To celebrate the birth of a child, sacrifice a pig and a goat. When the child gets three days, we'll kill you. When the child is one year old, we'll eat them. You are pigs, Christians, goats, strangers. This image is repeated in various forms, applying to all events of family life. In this one, the sacrifice is shown in the foreground; in the background we see the newborn's family.
