EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning panoramic view of Seoul, Korea, captured in the early 20th century around 1910, offers a captivating glimpse into the rich history and culture of this ancient city. The photograph, an exquisite example of albumen printing from the late 1890s or early 1900s, invites us to explore the urban landscape of Seoul during a time when traditional and modern influences coexisted. The image showcases a bustling town, with a mosaic of architectural styles reflecting the diverse ethnic groups that once called Seoul home. Indigenous structures, such as the curved roofs of hanok houses, stand alongside more contemporary European-style buildings, their distinct silhouettes creating a unique urban tapestry. The photograph also reveals the city's landmarks, including the majestic Gyeongbokgung Palace and the iconic Namsan Tower, which have stood the test of time and continue to be cherished symbols of Seoul's history and heritage. The vibrant streets teem with activity, as people go about their daily lives, adding to the energy and allure of this scene. This photograph offers a valuable window into the past, allowing us to appreciate the evolution of Seoul from a traditional town to a modern metropolis. It serves as a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the city and its people, and reminds us of the importance of preserving our cultural heritage for future generations to enjoy.
