日露戦役外国画帖 : 欧米諸大家実写 第1-3輯

1905 · 小川一真出版部 · 43 pictures

A Japanese-published album of 1905 collecting war pictures by Western painters of the Russo-Japanese War, issued by the Kogawa Kazuma publishing house for a Japanese audience. The reproductions are dark, grainy halftone prints of battle scenes, with soldiers in dense ranks on a hillside, a smoky artillery burst, and men firing from rocky cover, offering a designer a study in crowded wartime composition and smoke-and-earth tonality.
