EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating collection of photographs taken by Arnold Genthe in 1908, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural and natural landscapes of two intriguing countries. This collection, now part of the Genthe Collection in the Library of Congress, transports us back to the early 20th century, inviting us to explore the unique beauty of Japan and Korea through Genthe's lens. The first image showcases a serene hillside in Japan, where the verdant hues of lush vegetation contrast sharply against the stark, white bark of trees. The tranquility of the scene is further accentuated by the gentle grazing of a deer, its graceful form blending seamlessly with the natural setting. The second photograph transports us to Korea, where a hill stands proudly against the horizon, its rugged terrain dotted with trees and plants. The scene is alive with the vibrant colors of various foliage, while the foreground is dominated by a solitary, ancient tree, its gnarled branches reaching out towards the heavens. These images offer a testament to the timeless allure of these two countries, showcasing their unique geographical features, rich vegetation, and diverse wildlife. Genthe's mastery of photography brings these scenes to life, allowing us to experience the beauty and wonder of Japan and Korea as they were over a century ago. These nitrate negatives, part of the Genthe Collection in the Library of Congress, serve as an important historical record, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the enduring connection between humanity and nature. Whether it's the gentle grazing of a deer in Japan or the rugged terrain of Korea, these photographs capture the essence of two remarkable countries, inviting us to explore their natural beauty and cultural heritage.
