It charted the interests, concerns and frustrations of the country and today it stands as an invaluable resource not just as cartoon art and satire, but as primary source material for social historians.This illustration is by Linley Sambourne from Punch magazine published December 2, 1903, original, pulled from the magazine, not a modern reproduction. Full size including blank margins, 8 x 10 1/2 inches. Condition: excellent, still bright paper, clean, no handling wear, lays flat for easy framing; backside is blank. ARE THEY CLOSE?--The Russo-Japanese War was fought during 1904 and 1905 between the Russian Empire and the Empire of Japan over rival imperial ambitions in Manchuria and Korea.[4] The major theatres of operations were the Liaodong Peninsula and Mukden in Southern Manchuria and the seas around Korea, Japan and the Yellow Sea.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Questions welcome.
