EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating collection of photographs taken by Arnold Genthe in 1908, offers a glimpse into the daily life and urban landscapes of two intriguing Asian countries during the early 20th century. This collection, now part of the Genthe Collection in the Library of Congress, showcases a range of scenes from bustling city streets to quiet rural towns. In one image, a Japanese street scene comes to life as people go about their day. The sun casts long shadows on the cobblestone street, while a traditional awning shields pedestrians from the elements. A street vendor sells his wares, and a man in a hat walks by, carrying a parasol. In another photograph, a Korean town is depicted with its distinctive architecture. Buildings with intricate designs and bright colors line the narrow streets, and sun blinds hang from the windows, providing shade from the sun. Genthe's use of nitrate negatives captures the rich details of these scenes, from the textures of the buildings and clothing to the expressions on the faces of the people. These photographs offer a unique window into the past, providing a glimpse into the daily life and culture of Japan and Korea during a time of great change. The collection is a testament to Genthe's skill as a photographer and his ability to capture the essence of place and time. Whether you're an historian, a travel enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the past, these Travel Views of Japan and Korea are sure to captivate and inspire.
