EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to June 11,1871, inside Fort McKee in Korea. The image was skillfully captured by Felice Beato, an English-born photographer with Italian heritage who lived between 1832 and 1909. The photograph showcases the interior of Fort McKee, offering a glimpse into the daily life within its walls during this historical period. The composition is strikingly detailed and well-preserved due to its albumen silver print technique. As we explore the image, we are transported to a different era. We can almost feel the atmosphere of this military stronghold as soldiers go about their duties and interact with one another. The fort's architecture is impressive; sturdy stone walls surround us while sunlight streams through narrow windows, casting intriguing shadows on the floor. Beato's keen eye for detail allows us to observe various elements within the frame: weapons neatly arranged against a wall, maps hanging on display boards detailing strategic plans, and soldiers engaged in conversation or focused on their tasks. Through this photograph, we gain insight into an important moment in Korean history when foreign powers sought influence over its territory. It serves as a reminder of how photography can preserve significant moments forever and provide valuable glimpses into our past.
