"This album of views of the Sino-Japanese conflict at Shanghai consists principally of views taken in the field by Chinese, Japanese and British photographers. Generally speaking, few restrictions were placed on the free movement of accredited photographers during the operations, and in this sense it is a unique record of modern war at close quarters."
This volume serves as a sort of companion volume to the work Sino-Japanese Disturbances published in Shanghai in the same year. Both works commemorate the First Battle of Shanghai, which was the culmination of events beginning with the Mukden Incident the previous year.
