First Arrival - Pack Horses, Seoul, Bound North, c1904
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph by Robert Lee Dunn, capturing a moment in history as pack horses and their handlers prepare for the arduous journey north from Seoul, South Korea. The image, part of the rich collection at the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the early 1900s and the meeting of frontiers. The scene is set against the backdrop of a snow-covered roadside, with the first arrivals readying themselves for their departure. The horses, bundled up against the cold weather, stand patiently, their breath visible in the crisp air. Their handlers, bundled against the elements, are deep in conversation, likely discussing the preparations for the journey ahead. The image is a poignant reminder of the importance of these animals in transportation during this era, particularly during the Russo-Japanese War when Seoul was a bustling hub of activity. The horses, with their strong backs and surefootedness, were essential for the movement of goods and people, especially in the challenging terrain and weather conditions. The photograph also highlights the human element of the journey, with the men huddled together, their faces etched with determination and resolve. The image is a testament to their strength and resilience, as they prepare to face the unknown, bound for the north. This historic photograph is a treasure trove of information, offering insights into the daily life of the people of Seoul during this period, the challenges they faced, and their determination to overcome them. It is a powerful reminder of the importance of preserving our heritage and the stories that are woven into the fabric of history.
