EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures a significant moment in history as Alice Roosevelt, the eldest daughter of President Theodore Roosevelt, is carried through the bustling streets of Seoul in an Imperial sedan chair. The year is 1905, and she is on her way to the palace for an audience with Emperor Gojong of Korea. Accompanying a U. S. Congressional delegation on their tour of the Far East, Miss Roosevelt was affectionately called Princess Alice by the international press during her trip. This mission led by U. S. Secretary of War William Howard Taft was not only a goodwill visit but also had covert purposes. One such purpose was to establish a pact of cooperation between the United States and Japan. As she gracefully makes her way through Seoul's vibrant streets, surrounded by curious onlookers and adorned with traditional Korean attire, one can't help but marvel at this historic encounter between two nations. Little did they know that this diplomatic mission would eventually lead to Japan's annexation of Korea in 1910. The color lithograph beautifully depicts this momentous occasion from Le Petit Parisien magazine in October 1905. It serves as a reminder of both the grandeur and complexity surrounding international relations during that era. This photograph encapsulates not only political intrigue but also showcases Alice Roosevelt's adventurous spirit as she embarks on this extraordinary journey across Asia.
