EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "First Korean Junk Bringing Despatches Onboard" we are transported back to May 30,1871, witnessing a significant moment in history. The image captures the arrival of the first Korean junk at the U. S. S. Colorado immediately after casting anchor in Korea's waters. The photograph, skillfully captured by Felice Beato, an English photographer born in Italy during the early 19th century, showcases his talent for documenting historical events. This albumen silver print allows us to relive this pivotal moment and appreciate the artistry behind it. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we can imagine the anticipation and curiosity that must have filled both sides of this encounter. The juxtaposition of cultures is evident as sailors from the mighty USS Colorado interact with Koreans aboard their traditional vessel. This photograph serves as a testament to humanity's constant pursuit of connection and communication across borders. It reminds us that even amidst political tensions or language barriers, there is always room for understanding and diplomacy. The Liszt Collection has preserved this remarkable piece of history through their dedication to archiving important cultural artifacts like these prints. While its commercial use may be restricted due to copyright limitations, its value lies in its ability to transport us back to a specific moment where two worlds collided on peaceful terms - an enduring symbol of hope and unity between nations.
