EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide depicts a single-masted ship named Kasumi during the Russo-Japanese War, which took place between 1904 and 1905. The Russo-Japanese War was a significant turning point in world history, marking the first major military conflict of the 20th century and the end of Russia's expansionist ambitions in East Asia. The ship Kasumi, a small yet sturdy vessel, is shown here in all its glory, sailing through the waters with the sun setting in the background. The image, part of the Boswell Collection, Box 168, from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of naval warfare and international tension. The Russo-Japanese War began when Russia, seeking to expand its influence in Manchuria and Korea, clashed with Japan, which saw itself as the protector of Asian independence. The conflict raged on for over a year, with both sides suffering heavy losses. The war ended with the Treaty of Portsmouth, signed on September 5, 1905, which granted Japan significant territorial gains and international recognition. This lantern slide, with its intricate details and vivid colors, serves as a poignant reminder of the Russo-Japanese War and the historical significance of the single-masted ship Kasumi. It offers a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in world history, inviting us to reflect on the past and the role of naval power in shaping global politics.
