What it is
A poster published by Shobido & Co. of Tokyo in 1919 on the Japanese occupation of Khabarovsk, from the Library of Congress image collection.
Why it matters
Japan sent troops into the Russian Far East during the Russian Civil War, and this sheet celebrates the taking of Khabarovsk. Its caption, as the record gives it with its errors, reads: our army attacks from sky, water and shore, and repulsed enemy of Siberia.
What to notice
The caption promises an army attacking from the sky, the water and the shore at once.
A Siberian river town, taken three ways.
