Admiral Cabin Discussing Russo Shell Togo Wars
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. 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
In this evocative photograph, Admiral Togo Heihachiro, the architect of Japan's naval victory in the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905), is seen deep in thought in the confines of his cabin aboard the battleship Mikasa. The solemn expression on his face belies the gravity of the situation that had unfolded just hours earlier. The shell that is prominently displayed on the table before him is a reminder of the perilous encounter that had taken place during the Battle of Tsushima. On May 27, 1905, the Japanese fleet, under the command of Admiral Togo, had decisively defeated the Russian Baltic Fleet, securing Japan's victory in the war. However, during the height of the battle, a Russian shell had struck the Mikasa, narrowly missing Admiral Togo and causing significant damage to the ship. The admiral's intense focus on the shell is a testament to the importance of this moment in Japan's history. The war had been a turning point for the nation, marking its emergence as a major world power and challenging the dominance of European imperialism. The successful defense of the Japanese fleet, and the life of its commander, was a source of great pride and inspiration for the Japanese people. The photograph captures the essence of a pivotal moment in the Russo-Japanese War, offering a glimpse into the personal experiences of one of Japan's most revered military leaders. The shell, now a relic of history, serves as a powerful symbol of the courage and determination that defined Admiral Togo's leadership and Japan's journey towards modernization and international recognition.
