EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating collection of photographs taken by Arnold Genthe in 1908, offers a glimpse into the natural beauty and cultural richness of two Asian nations during the early 20th century. This collection, now part of the Genthe Collection in the Library of Congress, is a testament to Genthe's artistic vision and his ability to capture the essence of his travels. The first image showcases a serene Japanese landscape, with a lush, green forest stretching out before a tranquil body of water. The trees, with their gnarled trunks and delicate foliage, stand tall against the clear blue sky, their branches reaching out as if to embrace the heavens. The second photograph transports us to Korea, where we find ourselves in a bustling marketplace, surrounded by the vibrant colors and textures of traditional Asian architecture and the intricate patterns of traditional clothing. The third image brings us back to Japan, where we are treated to a breathtaking view of a traditional Japanese garden. The meticulously manicured plants and trees, arranged in perfect harmony, create a sense of peace and tranquility. The final photograph in this collection captures the essence of the natural world, as we gaze upon a solitary tree standing proudly against a backdrop of rolling hills and a clear, blue sky. These nitrate negatives, now preserved in the Library of Congress, offer a unique glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when travel was an adventure and the world was full of wonder and discovery. Arnold Genthe's Travel Views of Japan and Korea serve as a reminder of the importance of preserving our cultural and natural heritage for future generations to enjoy.
