October 1904: A Dramatic Discovery at Port Arthur During the Russo-Japanese War This intriguing photograph captures a pivotal moment during the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905), when tensions between Russia and Japan reached a boiling point. In this image, entitled 'Spy Caught,' we witness the discovery of a Japanese spy attempting to infiltrate the Russian town of Port Arthur, hidden within a coffin. Port Arthur, located in present-day Lüshun, China, was a strategic fortress city held by the Russians during the war. The Japanese, determined to gain control of the region, laid siege to the city in August 1904. The siege lasted for over six months, resulting in a significant loss of life and resources for both sides. Amidst the chaos and uncertainty, spies played a crucial role in gathering intelligence and sabotaging enemy lines. In this instance, the Russians were fortunate to have uncovered a Japanese spy, who had been disguised as a deceased soldier, lying in wait in a coffin. The discovery not only saved the Russians the expense of finding a coffin for the supposed deceased but also prevented the spy from carrying out any potential damage. This photograph is a testament to the tense and dangerous atmosphere that pervaded the Russo-Japanese War. The image, taken from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique glimpse into the clandestine world of espionage during wartime and the lengths to which spies would go to gain valuable information. The Russo-Japanese War, which ended with the Treaty of Portsmouth in September 1905, marked a significant turning point in East Asian history. This photograph serves as a reminder of the pivotal events that shaped the region and the world during this period.
