EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating collection of photographs taken by Arnold Genthe in 1908, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of two ancient lands. This exquisite series of images, now part of the Arnold Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress, transports us back in time to the early 20th century. Genthe's camera captured the essence of Japan and Korea, revealing the unique beauty of their landscapes, architecture, and people. In one photograph, we see a stunning view of a Japanese palace, its grandeur accentuated by the meticulously crafted drystone walls that surround the grounds. The terraced walls, a testament to the country's architectural prowess, wind their way up the hillside, leading the eye to the palace's elegant silhouette. Another image showcases the serene beauty of a Japanese garden, with its carefully tended plants and stones arranged in perfect harmony. The tranquil scene is framed by the walls that enclose the garden, creating a sense of intimacy and seclusion. In Korea, Genthe documented the intricate details of a walled palace, its weathered exterior a reminder of the passage of time. The photograph captures the textures and patterns of the ancient stones, their history etched into every crevice. These images, taken over a century ago, serve as a reminder of the enduring allure of Japan and Korea, their unique heritages preserved for future generations to explore and appreciate. Genthe's Travel Views of Japan and Korea offer a window into the past, inviting us to marvel at the beauty and complexity of these two remarkable countries.
