Travel Views of Japan and Korea,
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 Asian countries on the brink of modernization. This collection, now part of the Genthe Arnold Collection at the Library of Congress, showcases the unique beauty and charm of Japan and Korea during the early 20th century. Genthe's camera captured the essence of Japan, from the iconic hills and buildings of Kyoto to the serene natural settings of its countryside. In one image, we see a hillside dotted with traditional Japanese houses, their red-tiled roofs contrasting against the lush green foliage. Another photograph reveals the intricate detail of a temple nestled among the trees, its peaceful surroundings evoking a sense of tranquility. The collection also explores the diverse landscapes of Korea, including its stunning geographical features and natural wonders. In one photograph, we see a picturesque scene of a plant-covered hill, its undulating contours creating an almost surreal effect. Another image captures the majesty of a tree-lined path, the trees reaching towards the sky like sentinels guarding the land. These images, taken on nitrate negatives, offer a rare and captivating glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique heritage and art of Japan and Korea during a time of great change. The Travel Views of Japan and Korea collection by Arnold Genthe is a must-see for anyone interested in the history and culture of these fascinating countries.
