This early 20th-century Japanese military postcard, estimated to date from around 1904, presents an evocative illustration of Japanese cavalry officers and infantrymen on horseback, advancing through a traditional Korean gate marked with the kanji 平壤城 (Pingyang Fortress). The scene, tinted in greyscale with touches of red and gold, is titled in English "Japanese Troops Marching scene to Ping-Yang" – a reference to the strategic city of Pyongyang during the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905). The style of the figures, uniforms, and perspective reflect the era's chromolithographic techniques commonly used for propaganda and morale-boosting visuals. The reverse is printed with ornate classical framing, bearing the trilingual inscription “Union Postale Universelle / CARTE POSTALE / 萬國郵便聯合書端”, and a blank square for postage. The card is unused and well-preserved, with no postmarks or manuscript inscriptions. As a rare and striking example of Japan's visual military culture and early imperial expansion, particularly relating to the Korean Peninsula, this card holds both artistic and historic value. Its subject matter situates it firmly within the broader context of Japanese nationalism and military pride during the Meiji era. Estimate "$150 – 200"
