EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the Guard of French and Russian Legations on a bustling main street in Seoul, Korea. Taken from the cover of "Le Petit Parisien" on February 7,1904, this engraving by the French School provides a glimpse into the international relations during that time. The image transports us back to an era marked by political tensions and conflicts. The looming shadow of war is evident as Japan's presence is felt amidst the Russian-Japanese War of 1904-1905. This photograph serves as a visual testament to the complex dynamics between France, Russia, Japan, and Korea during this period. The composition beautifully captures the stoic guards standing tall against an urban backdrop. Their uniforms exude authority while their expressions reveal determination and vigilance. It is fascinating to witness these foreign soldiers stationed in Seoul – a symbol of power projection and diplomatic influence. Preserved within private collections today, this historical artifact offers us insight into early 20th-century Asian history through artistry lensed by Leonard de Selva. As we observe this print with curiosity and intrigue, it reminds us of how interconnected our world has always been - where nations converge on distant lands to protect their interests or forge alliances for better or worse.
