Who were the target audiences of this propaganda lithograph?

score:7

Accepted answer

This blog states that the company that produced this image was a Japanese company whose purpose in making the lithographs was to celebrate the Japanese victory. The blog also linked to multiple other related images.

The images are held at the Library of Congress so it is reasonable to assume that they were consumed in the United States.

The Wikipedia page on the "Siberian Intervention" lists the United States, Britain, and Canada as contributors of troops to the intervention. Since those countries (along with France and Italy) were allied with Japan in the effort in Siberia it is reasonable to conclude that the English language targets for the lithographs were populations in the United States, Britain, and Canada.
