Pictures of many
famous places in Korea from Christopher Witcombe's Art in
SouthEast Asia
The Library of Congress houses the huge Carpenter Collection
of photos taken across the world in the first two decades of
the 20th century, including
Korea, some being visible online.
The University
of Southern California has a fine collection of photos
from old Korea (enter the search term "Korea')
The University of Wisconsis at Milwaukee has an rich online
archive of photos, especially the photos
taken
by
Shannon
Boyd-Bailey McCune (son of the missionary George Shannon
McCune and brother of George McAfee) taken in 1938-9, mostly
in Pyongyang etc. Also fascinating are the photos taken by George
Foulk (see below).
Princeton Theological Seminary houses the
Moffett
collection
of
early photos, although the images are frustratingly
small.
Samuel Hawley (author of The Imjin War) has
published two fascinating books on George Foulk, one of the
earliest foreign visitors to explore Korea: America's Man in Korea: The
Private Letters of George C. Foulk, 1884-1887
(Lexington Books, 2007) and
Inside the Hermit Kingdom: The 1884 Korea Travel Diary of
George Clayton Foulk (Lexington Books, 2007). Alas,
the publisher refused to include the many
wonderful photos (many taken by Foulk) he had prepared,
so they can be viewed, more clearly surely, on the Internet.
There is a wonderful set of photos of old Korea from
around 1900
