"His Imperial Majesty Mutsuhito Emperor of Japan giving the flags to his troops" is a historic illustration by P.H.G.V. Michel, featured in the French illustrated weekly newspaper "Le Petit Journal Supplément illustré" on March 6, 1904. This artwork captures a significant moment during the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905), where Emperor Meiji, whose personal name was Mutsuhito, is depicted ceremonially presenting military flags to his troops. This act is a symbolic gesture of imperial support and blessing, intended to boost the morale of the Japanese forces engaged in the conflict.

The illustration is a reflection of the period's media and the role it played in shaping public perception of national events and figures. "Le Petit Journal Supplément illustré" was known for its vivid pictorial documentation of current events, and this illustration is no exception. It provides a visual narrative that aligns with the Japanese imperial propaganda of the time, emphasizing the Emperor's divine status and the nation's military prowess.

Emperor Meiji was the 122nd emperor of Japan, reigning from 1867 to 1912, and is credited with overseeing the Meiji Restoration, which rapidly transformed Japan from a feudal society into a modern industrial state. The illustration by P.H.G.V. Michel, therefore, not only captures a moment of military significance but also reflects the broader cultural and political transformation occurring in Japan during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The image of Emperor Meiji in this illustration is an important artifact for both its artistic value and its historical context. It serves as a visual document of the era's imperial iconography and the media's role in disseminating nationalistic and patriotic narratives during a pivotal moment in Japan's history.
