EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Far East, Sketches in Korea" takes us back to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of South Korea. The engraving, created by Henry Charles Seppings Wright in 1898 for The Illustrated London News, transports us to a bustling landing in Asia. As we delve into the image, our eyes are drawn to the vibrant scene unfolding before us. A group of Korean coolies can be seen engaged in various activities – some shopping at an entrance adorned with traditional architecture while others make their way towards a joss house. In the distance stands a distinguished Corean swell amidst Japanese coolies and Asian locals. The composition beautifully captures the essence of life in this part of the world during that time period. From doctors like Yung Shing returning from their duties to forts guarding strategic locations such as Chemulpo and Incheon, every detail tells its own story. Dressed impeccably in traditional attire, Koreans command attention with their grace and elegance. This print serves as a testament to both their resilience and deep-rooted cultural heritage. "The Far East, Sketches in Korea" is not just an artistic marvel but also an invaluable historical document that allows us to travel back through time and immerse ourselves in the captivating allure of Asia's past.
