EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures the historic moment of the Coronation of Sunjong, Emperor Yunghui of Korea on 20 July 1907. The cover illustration from La Tribuna Illustrata magazine, created by Achille Beltrame in August 4,1907, showcases this significant event in vibrant color lithography. Sunjong, also known as Emperor Yunghui (1874-1926), was the last Korean Emperor to reign from 1907 until 1910. His father Gojong (1852-1919), Emperor Gwangmu and first Emperor of Korea, was forced to abdicate by Japan on January 21,1907. Following his father's abdication and the subsequent annexation of Korea by Japan in 1910, Sunjong himself was deposed. The image portrays a scene filled with regal splendor and traditional pageantry. Adorned in elaborate costumes and hats that symbolize their royal status, both male and female courtiers surround the emperor as he sits upon his throne within the palace walls. The intricate details of their attire reflect the rich cultural heritage of Korea's Joseon dynasty. This photograph not only serves as a visual testament to an important moment in Korean history but also highlights the resilience and dignity displayed by Sunjong during a time when external forces sought to diminish his power. It stands as a reminder of Korea's complex past while honoring its royal lineage and traditions.
