Seoul, Korea - Panoramic View Over the City (1930s): A Glimpse into the Past This black-and-white panoramic photograph offers a breathtaking view of Seoul, the capital city of South Korea, as it appeared in the 1930s. The image, looking towards the Japanese General Government Building (back centre), showcases the city's unique blend of traditional and colonial architecture. During the 1930s, Seoul was under Japanese colonial rule, and the city underwent significant changes as the Japanese sought to modernize and centralize their administration. The Japanese General Government Building, a prominent feature in this photograph, served as the seat of the colonial government and symbolized Japan's dominance over Korea. The photograph reveals a bustling metropolis with narrow streets, traditional Korean houses, and modern buildings coexisting harmoniously. The Han River, which winds its way through the city, adds to the scenic beauty of the image. The photograph also reveals the city's vibrant street life, with people going about their daily routines, adding to the rich tapestry of the scene. This panoramic view offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of Seoul during the colonial era. It is a reminder of a time when the city was undergoing significant changes, as it transitioned from a traditional Korean capital to a modern colonial city. Today, Seoul is a thriving metropolis, a testament to its rich history and resilient people.
