EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide depicts a four-funnelled Russian warship during the Russo-Japanese War, which took place between 1904 and 1905. The image is part of the extensive Boswell Collection, housed in Box 168 at Mary Evans Prints Online. The Russo-Japanese War was the first major military conflict of the twentieth century and marked a significant turning point in world history. It began when Russia, intent on expanding its territory in East Asia, clashed with Japan over control of Manchuria and Korea. The Russian Navy played a crucial role in the war, with its Baltic Fleet sailing around the world to engage the Japanese Navy in the Pacific. This impressive warship, proudly flying the Russian flag, is a testament to the naval power of the Russian Empire at the time. The four funnels belch out smoke, indicating that the vessel is underway and ready for battle. The image captures the grandeur and might of the Russian military machine, as it faced off against the equally formidable Japanese forces. The Russo-Japanese War ended with Japan's victory, resulting in significant territorial losses for Russia and a major shift in the balance of power in East Asia. This fascinating lantern slide offers a unique glimpse into a pivotal moment in world history, providing valuable insights into the military capabilities and strategies of the time. It is a reminder of the complex geopolitical landscape of the early 20th century and the far-reaching consequences of imperial ambitions.
