EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment during the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905) as Chinese ministers and their guards make their way through a bustling street. The scene is set in East Asia, where the conflict between Russia and Japan played out on the Manchurian and Korean peninsulas. The Chinese ministers, dressed in traditional robes and hats, are accompanied by an entourage of soldiers on horseback, their weapons at the ready. The horses' hooves create a rhythmic clatter on the cobblestones as they move through the crowd, which includes civilians and other soldiers. Lanterns illuminate the narrow street, casting an orange glow over the scene and adding to the sense of activity and urgency. The photograph is part of the Boswell Collection, a valuable archive of glass lantern slides that document historical events and everyday life from around the world. This image offers a unique perspective on the Russo-Japanese War and the role of Chinese officials during this tumultuous time in East Asian history.
