1905 Japan

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception 

In 1905 Japan defeated Russia in the naval Battle of Tsushima – the first instance in the modern era of an Asian country defeating a European one. This Japanese print portrays the Russian navy as limping fish. See it in our free ‪#‎AsianPropaganda‬ exhibition until 1 September http://ow.ly/nbRN3
