Collection: Willard Dickerman Straight and Early U.S.-Korea Diplomatic Relations, Cornell University Library
Title: General Kuroki and his staff at Seoul
Date: ca. 1904
Place: Asia: South Korea; Seoul
Type: Photographs
Description: A large group of ciivilian and military dignitaries has gathered at the pavilion 'Chuhapru', a part of the Royal 'Changdokkung' (Palace) in Seoul. 'Chuhapru', built during king Yongjo's (1724-1776) final years (the time of the American Revolutionary War), is a two storied pavilion. The lower floor was used as a royal library while the top floor provided a place for entertainments and feast. The occasion is unknown, although - judging from the presence of western, Japanese and Korean dignitaries - it must have been a significant event. Unfortunately, the photograph is not annotated.
