Two vintage photographs of Japanese soldiers in the field, in uniforms of the Russo-Japanese War period (1904-05)
The gelatin silver images (each approximately 90 × 140 mm) are on the original blind-embossed card mounts (each approximately 170 × 220 mm); the surfaces of both images are lightly scuffed; one has a few visible fingerprint marks in the negative; overall, both items are in excellent condition.
One photograph features columns of soldiers marching with packs and rifles (with fixed bayonets) over a suspension bridge and along a riverside path in a rural area, watched over by a local family standing at the top of a nearby cutting. The second photograph depicts (presumably) the same troops in two ragged lines facing each other with fixed bayonets, in a sparsely wooded field. [2 items].
