None of the plates in the original edition was ever lettered with a title.The print shows a surprise attack in 1756 led by a Qing general against Zunghar Mongols.According to Pirazzoli-T’Serstevens (1969), it is after a drawing by Giuseppe Castiglione.This print is from a complete set (1848,0205.517 to 532 )of the sixteen plates known as ‘Victoires et Conquêtes de l’Empereur de la Chine’ commemorating the Qianlong Emperor’s victories in Central Asia from 1755 to1759. They are in a volume half-bound in leather with marbled boards, with gold tooling and ‘CHINESE BATTLES’ on the spine.
