"The Grand duel between yellow and white" is a primary source. It is a picture from France, 1904. It Depicts Japan fighting the Russian 'bear' while the other countries, the European powers, watch the fight. The perspective of the source is that of a French artist, T.Bianco, who believed Japan's growing militarism was being dismissed by the European powers. This source would be considered semi-reliable, despite his own depiction of the Russo-Japanese war forsakes the perspective of his European counterparts, he is biased toward his own opinion. The source is limited by its lack of information, as it requires extensive analysis and research to understand Bianco's message. By examining this source we can see that it is extremely useful to a historian studying the rise of Japanese militarism, as it displays the concern a minority of people possessed over Japan's militaristic actions, and the picture embodies one of the Western views on the Russo-Japanese war.
