The humors, devil to-supress "kwai-danzi"
Summary
Print showing a young man representing Japan as the "God of Peace" holding aloft a man, probably Nicholas II, labeled Russia holding a white flag. Japan is standing on a damaged Russian battleship and a man wearing a crown; "Corea" is seen hiding behind the skirt of Japan. Arranged around this central motif are figures representing "Germany", "China", "France", "Tolky" [i.e., Turkey], holding Japanese and Turkish flags and stomping on the Russian flag, "United State [sic], N. American", and "English" [i.e., England] standing with the British lion.
Includes extensive Japanese text.
Alois Senefelder, the inventor of lithography, introduced the subject of colored lithography in 1818. Printers in other countries, such as France and England, were also started producing color prints. The first American chromolithograph—a portrait of Reverend F. W. P. Greenwood—was created by William Sharp in 1840. Chromolithographs became so popular in American culture that the era has been labeled as "chromo civilization". During the Victorian times, chromolithographs populated children's and fine arts publications, as well as advertising art, in trade cards, labels, and posters. They were also used for advertisements, popular prints, and medical or scientific books.
