Cartoon impression of the Russo-Japanese War 2 of 5
Card 2 of 5 - The Attack. A cartoon interpretation of the Russo-Japanese war, acted out by the principal ruling individuals from the International Community. The Russo-Japanese War was a conflict that grew out of the rival imperialist ambitions of the Russian Empire and the Empire of Japan over Manchuria and Korea. The major theatres of operations were Southern Manchuria, specifically the area around the Liaodong Peninsula and Mukden, and the seas around Korea, Japan, and the Yellow Sea. Japan inflicted a series of stunning defeats on the Russian Navy, principally at Tsushima in May 1905. In this second card, Tsar Nicolas II is surprised by an attack by the Japanese Emperor Meiji, whilst the International community (still standing quite far back from proceedings) show a mixture of delight and alarm depending on their support for either side

EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon print offers a humorous and satirical take on the Russo-Japanese War of 1905, featuring the principal ruling figures from the International Community as they watch the conflict unfold. At the center of the image, Tsar Nicolas II of Russia is taken aback by an unexpected attack from the Japanese Emperor Meiji, as the two imperial powers vied for control over Manchuria and Korea. The international community, still standing at a respectable distance from the proceedings, displays a range of emotions, from delight to alarm, reflecting their allegiances and interests in the unfolding struggle. This charming and historically insightful piece of satire provides a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in world history, as Japan inflicted a series of stunning defeats on the Russian Navy, most notably at the Battle of Tsushima in May 1905. With its rich detail and witty commentary, this cartoon print is a must-have for history enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone with an appreciation for the art of satire.
