EDITORS COMMENTS
Travel Views of Japan and Korea" is a captivating collection of photographs taken by Arnold Genthe during his journey to the Far East in 1908. This collection, now part of the Arnold Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a unique glimpse into the daily life and urban landscapes of Japan and Korea at the turn of the 20th century. Arnold Genthe, an American photographer, captured these images with a nitrate negative, a photographic process popular during the early 1900s. The collection includes various scenes of bustling city streets, quaint towns, and serene country landscapes. In one image, we see a Japanese street scene filled with people and shops, the sun casting long shadows through the narrow alleyways. Another photograph features a Korean town with traditional houses and awnings, their whitewashed walls and red roofs standing out against the grey sky. The use of awnings is a common theme throughout the collection, with several photographs showcasing the intricate designs and patterns of these sun blinds. In one image, a Japanese street scene is framed by the intricate latticework of an awning, while in another, a Korean shopkeeper is seen adjusting the fabric of his awning to shield himself from the sun. The collection also includes photographs of city life in Japan and Korea, with images of busy streets, crowded markets, and bustling harbors. Despite the hustle and bustle, there is a sense of calm and tranquility that pervades the images, inviting the viewer to take a step back in time and explore the rich heritage of these two fascinating countries. Overall, "Travel Views of Japan and Korea" is a testament to Arnold Genthe's skill as a photographer and his ability to capture the essence of a place and its people. These images offer a valuable insight into the history and culture of Japan and Korea during a time of great change and transformation, making them an invaluable addition to the Heritage Images collection.
