EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense unrest that engulfed Seoul, Korea in 1907. Published in Le Petit Journal's supplement illustre on August 4th of that year, this colour lithograph depicts a scene of chaos and conflict. In the foreground, a soldier lies motionless on the ground, his sword dropped beside him. The image portrays the rule of law being challenged as disturbances and riots break out throughout the city. Uniformed soldiers with bayonets fixed to their rifles confront rioters wearing traditional Korean hats. The illustration serves as a poignant reminder of Korea's struggle against colonialism during this period. Following the signing of the 1905 Protectorate Treaty, Japan had become its protectorate, leading to widespread resistance from Koreans who fought against foreign occupation. Amidst this backdrop of violence and death, one can sense both desperation and determination among those involved in this clash between opposing forces. The image showcases not only armed troops but also ordinary citizens caught up in the fight for their homeland. As we gaze upon this historic moment frozen in time, it is impossible to ignore the profound impact that colonialism had on shaping Korea's destiny. This powerful visual narrative invites us to reflect on themes such as power dynamics, cultural identity, and resilience amidst adversity - all within a single frame captured by an anonymous French School artist over a century ago.
