EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from the Liszt Collection transports us back to May 30,1871, when Korean officials were interviewed onboard the Colorado. Taken by Felice Beato, an English photographer of Italian origin, this albumen silver print captures a significant moment in Korean history. The image showcases a group of distinguished Korean officials gathered on board the Colorado ship. Their serious expressions hint at the importance of the interview taking place. The composition is beautifully framed, with Beato's expert eye capturing every detail - from their traditional attire to their stoic demeanors. Intriguingly, this photograph offers us a rare glimpse into Korea during a time when it was relatively closed off from Western influence. It serves as a testament to Beato's skill as he navigated cultural barriers and documented moments that would otherwise remain hidden. As we admire this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how photography can transcend language and time itself. It allows us to connect with people and events long gone but not forgotten. This particular image invites us to ponder what discussions took place during that fateful interview aboard the Colorado and what impact they may have had on Korea's future trajectory. With its rich historical context and artistic merit, this print is truly a treasure for any enthusiast seeking insight into Korea's past through Felice Beato's lens.
