About
"A photographic record of the Russo-Japanese war" by James H. Hare et al. is a pictorial history written in the early 20th century. It chronicles the 1904–1905 conflict between Japan and Russia through on-the-spot photographs and concise narrative, from the diplomatic rupture and surprise naval blows to the land campaigns in Korea and Manchuria and the siege of Port Arthur. The volume highlights Collier’s photographers working under tight censorship, yielding a rare visual record of strategy, logistics, and life at the front. The opening of this volume explains why reliable day‑to‑day news was scarce despite many correspondents and introduces Collier’s exclusive photographic effort, spotlighting field work by James H. Hare, Robert L. Dunn, and others. It then outlines the causes of war—clashing aims in Korea and Manchuria—leading to Japan’s break in relations, the Chemulpo clash that sank the Variag and Korietz, and Togo’s night torpedo attack at Port Arthur, followed by swift Japanes
