Sign In to see what this sold for

Moscow: E. I. Konovalova, February 28, 1904. Chromolithograph (410 x 585 mm). Depicts a giant Russian soldier stomping across Manchuria and Korea after the fleeing Japanese army while Uncle Sam ("Yanki") negotiates with the Japanese and Chinese in the background. Framed. This jingoistic poster is highly misleading: The Russo-Japanese War was a strategic disaster for Russia; and the humiliating series of defeats to the Japanese through the wasteful and corrupt tsarist government enflamed public discontent and led directly to the Russian Revolution of 1905.
