EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Sketches in Corea" takes us back to the bustling streets of Seoul in the late 19th century. The image, originally published in The Illustrated London News on May 10,1890, offers a rare glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of this vibrant Asian city. The scene is filled with intriguing details that transport us to another time and place. A group of Corean women dressed in traditional attire gracefully stroll down the main street, their elegant garments catching the eye. Among them is a young child, innocently observing her surroundings as she clings onto her mother's hand. In the background, we catch a glimpse of a British consulate building standing tall amidst its Korean counterparts. It serves as a reminder of historical connections between nations during this period. As our gaze wanders further into the frame, we notice an imposing city gendarme keeping watch over his domain. His presence adds an element of authority to this otherwise serene street scene. The composition exudes authenticity and captures everyday life in Korea at that time - people going about their daily routines while preserving their unique cultural identity. This enchanting print from Bridgeman Images allows us to delve into history and appreciate both the beauty and diversity found within Asia's rich heritage.
