EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "The Future Alliance - 'We should have started like this!' - Russian and Japan shake hands" captures a significant moment in history. Taken in 1904, during the Russo-Japanese War, the lithograph portrays a satirical illustration of two political rivals coming together. In this colorful French artwork by Leal de Camara, we see representatives from the Russian Empire and the Empire of Japan shaking hands. The caption on the print reads, "La Future Alliance! - Nous aurions du commencer par la!" which translates to "The Future Alliance! We should have started like this!". This image reflects the imperialistic ambitions of both nations as they vied for control over Manchuria and Korea. The cartoon-like depiction emphasizes their rivalry while also hinting at a potential alliance that could have prevented conflict. Published in L'Assiette au Beurre magazine in October 1904, this satirical piece offers commentary on the ongoing war between Russia and Japan. It serves as a reminder of missed opportunities for peaceful cooperation between these two powerful empires. Overall, this print is not only visually striking but also provides insight into early 20th-century politics and international relations. It highlights how art can be used to convey complex historical events with humor and satire.
