I think Bill has seen this before, but I never made it public. My
wife's great uncle (Durham White Stevens) was an ambassador to Japan
during the Russo-Japanese War and ended up with some pretty
incredible artifacts, including these propaganda posters.
Unfortunately, he was also later made ambassador to Korea during the
time that Japan was attempting to annex Korea, and was assasinated
in San Francisco by some Korean nationists who felt he was still
loyal to the Japanese. http://css.sbcma.com/timj/Russo-Japanese-Posters/

. . . and, no, I have no idea about what the messages state on the
posters. I also have no idea what any of this has to do with Bill or
Tom's posts, but this is where the train of thought took me.

Quite an interesting story about the assassination of Durham White
Stevens; http://www.koreanamericanheritage.com/kna.htm

Yeah, I've read that version, which, of course, could be just slightly
slanted to the Korean POV. That said, it's about the only history on the man
I could find online. I guess I'll have to break down and go to ugh! *the
library*. Oh, well. That'll give me a good reason to visit Boston on one of
these cold winter days. I mean, how expensive could it be to park in Boston,
anyway . . . ;-)
