EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print from 1871 captures the aftermath of the capture of the second Fort Corea in Korea. The image reveals a grim scene, showcasing lifeless bodies of fallen Coreans strewn across the landscape. Lt. McKee, a brave soldier hailing from Kentucky, is seen lying mortally wounded near this very spot. The photographer behind this poignant moment frozen in time is Felice Beato, an English artist born in Italy. Through his lens, he has captured not only the devastation and loss but also the raw reality of war. The albumen silver print adds to the historical significance of this photograph, preserving it for generations to come. It serves as a reminder that even amidst conflict and violence, there are stories that must be told and remembered. As we gaze upon this image today, let us reflect on the sacrifices made by those who fought bravely for their nations during times of war. May it serve as a testament to both the horrors and complexities inherent in human conflicts throughout history.
