Map of the theatre of the Russo-Japanese War, 1904. Artist: A Meunier
Map of the theatre of the Russo-Japanese War, 1904. The Russo-Japanese War arose due to the two countries conflicting territorial ambitions in East Asia. When the Russians reneged on an agreement to withdraw troops from Manchuria, the Japanese embarked on a lengthy siege of the Russian-leased city of Port Arthur in Manchuria. Port Arthur surrendered in January 1905, and a combination of incompetence on the part of Russian commanders and the decisive victory for the Japanese navy at the Battle of Tsushima forced the Russians to the negotiating table. The outcome of the war was Japan gaining effective control of Korea and much of Manchuria. An illustration from Le Petit Journal, 28th February 1904

Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed "Map of the theatre of the Russo-Japanese War, 1904" created by artist A Meunier. The map vividly depicts the territorial ambitions and conflicts between Russia and Japan in East Asia during that time. At the heart of this war was Russia's failure to withdraw troops from Manchuria as agreed upon, leading to a prolonged siege of Port Arthur by Japanese forces. The surrender of Port Arthur in January 1905 marked a turning point in the conflict, exposing Russian commanders' incompetence and highlighting the decisive victory achieved by the Japanese navy at the Battle of Tsushima. These events forced Russia to come to terms with Japan at the negotiating table. Ultimately, Japan emerged triumphant from this war, gaining effective control over Korea and significant portions of Manchuria. This historical illustration from Le Petit Journal on February 28th, 1904 provides valuable insight into these geopolitical shifts during that era. With its vibrant colors and meticulous cartography, this artwork serves as both an informative tool for understanding past conflicts and a testament to A Meunier's skillful map-making abilities. It stands as a reminder of how territorial disputes can shape history while also showcasing art's power to convey complex concepts visually.
