Stereoscopic card for a stereoscope. The card bears two almost identical photographs which, when viewed through the stereoscope, appears three-dimensional. The image is of a lineup of soldiers aiming rifles, and was taken during the siege of Port Arthur in February 1904, the beginning of the Russo-Japanese War. The caption reads "Japanese Soldiers drilling behind the lines, siege of Port Arthur" and "Copyright 1905 by American Stereoscope Co." is written underneath.
