EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time at the old palace of Seoul, Korea, towards the end of the 19th century. The image showcases a group of bowmen dressed in traditional Korean costumes, exuding an air of elegance and grace. Each archer stands tall with their bows drawn back, ready to release their arrows with precision. The composition beautifully highlights the intricate details of their attire - from flowing robes to ornate headpieces - showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Korea. It is evident that archery was not only a sport but also an integral part of Korean warrior culture during this period. The photo's monochrome palette adds a timeless quality to the scene, transporting viewers back in time to witness this historical event firsthand. The photographer Leonard de Selva skillfully captures both the intensity and tranquility present within each archer's gaze. This print serves as a testament to Korea's deep-rooted traditions and offers us a glimpse into its past. It reminds us that even amidst rapid modernization, it is essential to preserve and celebrate our cultural heritage for future generations.
