Dignitary Mandarin Russo Japanese
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a moment of respite during the tumultuous Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905). The photograph features a Mandarin, a high-ranking Chinese official, holding a young child under the warm glow of a lantern. The serene expression on the Mandarin's face contrasts sharply with the backdrop of the war, which was raging between Russia and Japan for control over Manchuria and Korea. The war, which lasted from 1904 to 1905, was a significant turning point in world history, marking the decline of the Russian Empire and the emergence of Japan as a major world power. The presence of the Mandarin and the child in this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the importance of protecting the innocence of childhood amidst the chaos of conflict. The photograph is part of the Boswell Collection, Box 168, held at Mary Evans Prints Online. The exact date of the photograph is unknown, but it is believed to have been taken between 1904 and 1905.
