True Report of the Great Sea Battle at Lushun Bay - Number Three
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodblock print depicting a pivotal moment in naval history. This print, created in 1904, documents the surprise Japanese naval assault on the Russian fleet at Lushun Bay, also known as Port Arthur. The intricately detailed image showcases Japanese battleships bombarding Russian battleships, with plumes of smoke rising from the water and the sun setting in the background. The print includes cameo portraits of key figures in the battle. On the Japanese side, it is believed that the portrait may represent Admiral Togo Heihachiro, the mastermind behind the Japanese naval strategy that led to their victory. On the Russian side, the portrait could be of either Admiral Oskar Victorovich Stark or Stepan Osipovich Makarov, both of whom were prominent figures in the Russian navy during this period. The woodblock print technique used to create this image allows for a high level of detail and intricacy. Each line and shade is meticulously carved into the woodblocks and then inked and pressed onto paper to create the final image. This technique was commonly used in Japan during the Meiji period (1868-1912) for the production of high-quality prints, including those documenting historical events. The "True Report of the Great Sea Battle at Lushun Bay: Number Three" is a testament to the skill and artistry of the woodblock printmakers of the time, as well as a valuable historical record of a significant moment in naval warfare. The image captures the drama and intensity of the battle, making it a fascinating and important addition to any collection of historical prints or maritime art.
