This print is significant in the history of graphic design for several reasons. First, because of its age, it was printed in 1904. Second, because of its quality and design details. The piece features older, more traditional Chinese characters, with very small, likely hand-written text on the left-hand side. This contrasts with the more prominent English text at the bottom, which combines both printed and cursive styles. The print uses three to four colors to depict scenes from the Russo-Japanese War, including Lieutenant General Tsuchiya being injured and shot on the front lines.
