The record identifies this glass negative as the Russian cruiser Askold, a ship of the Russian Pacific squadron during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904 to 1905. The record gives no date, and the title comes from unverified data that the Bain News Service recorded on its negatives or caption cards. Askold was one of the Russian warships that ended up interned in a neutral port after the fighting began, so the picture belongs to a period when Far Eastern naval events drew wide press attention. Bain's photographers made glass negatives like this one for quick reproduction, so the ship's outline and rigging are the details to look for.
