The Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905 was a significant conflict that unfolded between the Russian and Japanese forces. The war, depicted in various publications such as "L'Assiette au Beurre" and "Le Petit Parisien, " showcased the intense battles and strategic maneuvers undertaken by both sides. In one illustration from "L'Assiette au Beurre, " we witness a striking scene where a Japanese parliamentarian hands over editing conditions to Russian troops in Port Arthur, China. This engraving from "Le Petit Parisien" captures the tense negotiations amidst the backdrop of war on September 4th, 1904. Another powerful image depicts Russian wounded soldiers being transported on skis during the conflict. Published in "Le Petit Parisien" on April 10th, 1904, this engraving highlights the harsh realities faced by those involved in battle. As seen on the cover of "L'Assiette au Beurre, " issue number 183 dated October 8th, 1904, satirical colors bring attention to key moments of this war. One such moment is captured when debarking Japanese troops encircle Port Arthur's Liao Toung region—an essential maneuver for their strategy against Russian forces. The launch of the Russian ship named "Varyag" during the Battle of Chemulpo is another noteworthy event portrayed in these publications. This naval engagement played a crucial role in shaping subsequent conflicts throughout this war. General Nicolas Petrovich Linevitch takes center stage as he assumes command as Commander-in-Chief of Russian forces—a pivotal appointment that would influence future military strategies and decisions. Eugene Damblans skillfully illustrates scenes from this tumultuous period in his work featured in Le Pelerin magazine. His artistic portrayal adds depth and emotion to our understanding of these historical events. A portrait capturing Emperor Meiji Tenno dit Mutsuhito provides insight into the leadership and influence of the Japanese side during this war.
