The Severe Battle of Teh-li-sz - A Moment of Reckoning for Russian Prisoners of War
EDITORS COMMENTS
The haunting image of the print depicts a poignant moment following the intense Battle of Teh-li-sz during the Russo-Japanese War in 1904. The Japanese soldiers, victorious in the battle, are seen questioning Russian prisoners, their faces etched with a mixture of determination and curiosity. In the foreground, a Japanese interpreter engages with a Russian officer, attempting to extract vital information from him. The woodblock print, titled "The Battle of Teh-li-sz and Russian Prisoners were questioned by our officers - Illustration of the Battles of Japan and Russia No. 14," offers a glimpse into the aftermath of this significant conflict. The Battle of Teh-li-sz, fought between May 27 and 29, 1904, was a pivotal engagement in the Russo-Japanese War. The Russian forces, led by General Kuropatkin, attempted to break through the Japanese lines, but were met with fierce resistance from the Japanese army under the command of General Nogi. The battle resulted in heavy losses for both sides, with the Russians suffering approximately 12,000 casualties and the Japanese around 7,000. The print, with its intricate woodcut details, captures the raw emotion and intensity of the moment. The Japanese soldiers, their faces concealed behind helmets and masks, stand over their defeated foes, their eyes fixed on the prisoners as they answer the interrogators' questions. The Russian prisoners, their uniforms disheveled and tattered, appear resigned to their fate. The print serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the complex interplay of power and information in the aftermath of battle. This evocative image, with its intricate woodblock details, offers a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in the Russo-Japanese War. It invites us to reflect on the human stories that lie behind the grand narratives of history, and the enduring impact of war on individuals and nations.
