EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating collection of photographs taken by Arnold Genthe in 1908, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and natural beauty of two ancient civilizations. This collection, now part of the Genthe Arnold Collection held at the Library of Congress, transports us back in time to the early 20th century. Arnold Genthe, a renowned American photographer, captured these images during his travels through Japan and Korea. The series includes various scenes, from bustling city streets to serene natural settings. In one photograph, we see a cemetery nestled among trees, with gravestones standing tall against a backdrop of lush greenery. The gravestones, adorned with intricate designs and symbols, offer a poignant reminder of the passage of time and the enduring nature of human existence. Another image showcases a tree, its branches reaching out towards the sky, surrounded by vibrant, colorful plants. The natural setting is a testament to the breathtaking beauty that can be found in both Japan and Korea. The use of a nitrate negative adds to the timeless quality of these photographs, enhancing the contrast and depth of the images. These photographs offer a unique perspective on the history and culture of Japan and Korea during the early 1900s. They serve as an invaluable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the heritage and art of these two countries. The Travel Views of Japan and Korea collection by Arnold Genthe is a must-see for anyone seeking to explore the history and beauty of these fascinating nations.
