(84) The Call of Nature
(84) The Call of Nature
In the past, the call of nature in Korea was often a dangerous affair ― especially for children.

(83) Destruction of Han River Bridge
(83) Destruction of Han River Bridge
The Korean War was filled with tragedies and, as too common, often the victims were non-combatants. The country was ripped apart by ideologies and large numbers of people — caring nothing for the politics — were uprooted in their attempts to avoid the advancing armies and battles. Perhaps one of the greatest tragedies during the opening days of the war was the des...

(82) Taming the wild
(82) Taming the wild
For many Westerners living in Korea in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, pets were a necessary part of life. Naturally cats, dogs, goldfish and birds were the most common pets but there were others ― more wild ― that not only served as exotic pets but also, in some cases, as guards.

(81) Executions in the streets
(81) Executions in the streets
Executions were a fairly common occurrence during the troubled period of the late Joseon era.

(80) Feeding of crows
In the West, crows are often associated with evil ― the bearers of curses and portents of doom. Like in the West, Koreans also viewed crows and ravens as messengers but their tidings were usually warnings that benefited their listener.

(79) Female companionship at gold mines
(79) Female companionship at gold mines
A miner’s life is often lonely and the Western gold miners in northern Korea during the early twentieth century were no exception. Very few Western women visited the mines and those who did were generally missionaries or their daughters, White Russians, or visitors from Seoul or Pyongyang — curious to see Korea’s Wild West.

(78) English miner's murder
(78) English miner's murder
At the end of the 19th and turn of the 20th century, China was awash with anti-foreign sentiment which eventually resulted in the Boxer Rebellion in June 1900.

(77) Bonsal: witness to tragedy
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Joseon Korea was visited by several very important newspapermen ― some of them before they became famous. One such individual was Stephen Bonsal who became an inadvertent champion of Korea’s fight for independence from Japan’s occupation.

(76) Camera shy
(76) Camera shy
It seems ironic, considering how photogenic Koreans are and their eagerness to photograph one another that cameras in the late 19th and early 20th centuries were a source of friction between Koreans and their foreign visitors.

(75) Russian military advisors
(75) Russian military advisors
At different times during the late Joseon era, Korea employed military advisors first from China, Japan, the United States and, for a short time, England.The final group of military advisors was from Russia.
