EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1920, we are transported back in time to witness a moment of cultural exchange and exploration. The image showcases a western family standing proudly in front of the iconic Pusan Station Hotel, which was the first western-style hotel in Seoul, Korea. The family's attire reflects their foreign origins, with the man wearing a suit and hat while his wife dons an elegant dress. They stand alongside their young child who exudes innocence and curiosity. This snapshot captures not only their physical presence but also their sense of adventure as they embark on a journey through this unfamiliar land. The backdrop of the Pusan Station Hotel serves as a symbol of modernization and Western influence within Korea during that era. It represents both progress and transformation as traditional Korean culture began to merge with outside influences. As we delve into this photograph, it becomes evident that these tourists were pioneers of travel during a time when international exploration was still relatively uncommon. Their visit to Korea undoubtedly left an indelible mark on them while simultaneously contributing to the country's growing tourism industry. This print from Granger Art on Demand allows us to glimpse into history, reminding us of how far we have come while honoring those who paved the way for cross-cultural understanding and appreciation.
