EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a scene from the streets of Seoul, Korea, circa 1906. In this image by Standard Scenic Company, we see a group of white-robed pottery peddlers going about their daily business. The peddlers are seen walking along a hillside street lined with traditional thatched houses. The photo offers us a glimpse into the bustling atmosphere of early 20th century Seoul. The vendors carry their wares on their backs or in baskets, skillfully balancing them as they navigate through the crowded streets. Their presence adds color and vibrancy to an otherwise monochromatic landscape. This image also serves as a reminder of Korea's complex history during this time period. It hints at the influence of imperialism and colonialism in Asia, as well as the resilience and adaptability of Korean people in response to these forces. The photographer's use of black and white enhances the timeless quality of this moment frozen in time. We can almost hear the chatter among buyers and sellers, smell the earthy scent of pottery, and feel ourselves transported back to turn-of-the-century Seoul. Overall, this photograph is not only visually striking but also provides valuable insight into both Korean culture at that time and broader historical contexts such as imperialism and colonialism in Asia.
