“Nurses”
“The picture postcards of the Russo-Japanese War (1904-05) ushered in a new age of celebrity on the Japanese side, in which heroes were accompanied by heroines. The latter almost always tended to be Red Cross nurses, who played many symbolic roles. The Red Cross affiliation highlighted Japan’s new internationalism. Depictions of Japanese nurses providing aid and solace to wounded Russian prisoners were intended to demonstrate modern Japan’s humanitarianism. And, predictably, the nurses were invariably good-looking.” (source)

Stepanov began by painting small genre scenes in the style of Pryanishnikov, through whom he became interested in the hunt. He progressed from hunting scenes to animal painting, and he became a leader in the genre. He joined the Wanderers in 1891, exhibiting with them from 1888 to 1900.

Master of the World is a dark science-fiction novel by Jules Verne, written in 1904. It was written during a bleak period near the end of Verne’s life, when his health was failing, and his outlook on the world was distinctly more cynical and dark than his earlier, brighter novels.

From a 1904 edition of the BCP designed by Charles Ricketts. Thanks to Peter Edman for showing me this lovely book, which seems to bridge the gap between the designs of William Morris and those of Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
