EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment from the Russo-Japanese War in 1905. As Russian soldiers pass through the gates of Mukden, Manchuria, their presence evokes a sense of anticipation and tension. The image is filled with contrasting elements - the disciplined troops marching forward, rifles at the ready, while men, women, and children stand nearby observing this historic event. Photographed by Benjamin West Kilburn during the early years of the 20th century, this scene encapsulates both chaos and order. The soldiers represent an empire on the brink of battle; their horses add to the intensity as they gallop alongside them. Meanwhile, civilians gather around to witness this pivotal moment in history. The composition of this stereograph highlights not only the military might but also showcases how ordinary people were affected by war. Men are seen discussing amongst themselves while women clutch onto their children tightly - perhaps fearing for their safety or simply curious about what lies ahead. This photograph serves as a reminder that wars impact societies beyond just those directly involved in combat. It offers us a glimpse into turn-of-the-century life in Manchuria and invites reflection on themes such as sacrifice, patriotism, and resilience.
