EDITORS COMMENTS
Travel Views of Japan and Korea" is a captivating collection of photographs taken by Arnold Genthe during his journey through East Asia in 1908. This series of images, now part of the Genthe Collection held at the Library of Congress, offers a unique glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan and Korea at the turn of the 20th century. Genthe, a European photographer, skillfully captures the essence of the foreign lands through his lens. In one photograph, we see a young Japanese girl dressed in traditional clothing, standing beside a serene lake, reflecting the beauty of her surroundings. In another image, a group of Korean women, dressed in colorful hanboks, are seen gathered around a table, engaged in an animated conversation. The collection also includes portraits of European travelers, dressed in their finest apparel, as they explore the exotic sights of Japan and Korea. One photograph shows a European lady, dressed in a voluminous white dress, sketching the scenic views of a Japanese temple. Another image captures the moment of a European sightseer, dressed in black and white, taking in the breathtaking views of a Korean mountain range. These photographs offer a fascinating insight into the fashion trends of the time, with European travelers donning their finest clothing, while the locals are seen dressed in their traditional attire. The images also provide a glimpse into the daily life and customs of the people of Japan and Korea during the early 1900s. The collection, which includes nitrate negatives, is a testament to the enduring allure of travel and the power of photography to capture and preserve the beauty and diversity of the world around us.
