EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Views in the Capital of Corea, the Seat of the Dispute between China and Japan" captures a snapshot of historical significance. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this image offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in East Asian history. The photograph showcases various elements that define the capital city of Seoul during this period. From the bustling streets to architectural landmarks such as the East Gate and City Bell, every detail tells a story. In particular, poor Corean boys can be seen amidst their daily struggles, highlighting social disparities within society. The composition also emphasizes the grandeur of buildings that hang over Great East Street, symbolizing power and authority. A Corean gentleman's sedan chair is prominently featured, showcasing traditional transportation methods prevalent at that time. This image serves as an illustration for The Graphic newspaper on August 4th, 1894 – shedding light on ongoing disputes between China and Japan over control of Korea. It provides valuable insight into how these tensions impacted everyday life in Seoul. Preserved within a private collection today, this photograph stands as a testament to both artistic skill and historical documentation. Its depiction of Asia's diverse cultures – Chinese, Korean, Japanese – reminds us of our shared past while offering opportunities for reflection on our present-day relationships with these nations.
