	Russian Sailors Making Cannon Balls for Their Battleship’s Guns The Russo-Japanese War (1904–5) was documented in various forms of media, such as woodblock prints, photographs, and illustrations.

The Dürer print includes heraldic symbols of Nuremberg on the ... Contributed by Brown University Library
