China: Qing officers posing at the Nanjing Jinling Arsenal, built by Li Hongzhang (15 February 1823 - 7 November 1901) in 1865. Photo by John Thomson (1837-1921), 1872. Li Hongzhang (Wade–Giles: Li Hung-chang), Marquis Suyi of the First Class, was a Chinese civilian official who ended several major rebellions, and a leading statesman of the late Qing Empire. He served in important positions of the Imperial Court, once holding the office of the Viceroy of Zhili. His image in China remains largely controversial.
