Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on the production, dissemination and reception of images of the Russo‐Japanese War from an intermedial perspective, examining early cinema as embedded within and engaged in exchanges with other contemporary popular media, in terms of both content and form. Focusing on the case of the Netherlands ‐ by that point in time, a minor imperial power in Asia, relatively neutral in regards to the conflict and, moreover, not a producer of such images but rather a recipient and distributor of ones produced outside its borders ‐ will enable us to examine how images of war were adapted and reframed in order to construct an international news story for Dutch audiences. Furthermore, an overview of the popular visual media circulating at the time in the Netherlands and in the Netherlands Indies will help outline features of the political and cultural exchanges between the colonies and the home country.
