EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative lantern slide depicts a scene from the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905), specifically the Battle of Tsushima or Kralikri, one of the most decisive naval engagements in military history. The image captures a moment of tension on the high seas as Russian and Japanese warships clash in the distance. The Russian fleet, led by the Battleship "Severyanov" and the Cruiser "Zhemchug," is shown on the left side of the frame, while the Japanese fleet, including the Cruiser "Naniwa" and the Destroyer "Sakura," is visible on the right. The ships are silhouetted against the moody, stormy sky, creating a sense of drama and uncertainty. The title "Kralikri" refers to the location of the battle, which took place in the Tsushima Strait between the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese island of Kyushu. The Russo-Japanese War was a pivotal moment in world history, marking the end of the Russian Empire's expansionist ambitions in Asia and the emergence of Japan as a major world power. This lantern slide offers a unique glimpse into this important historical moment and the naval warfare of the early 20th century.
