EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Seoul in 1899. The image showcases a remarkable sight for its time - a streetcar gliding through the city, symbolizing the rapid modernization and westernization that Korea was undergoing during this period. The streetcar, powered by electricity, represents the advancement of technology and science in Seoul at the turn of the century. It stands as a testament to Korea's eagerness to embrace new forms of transportation and improve urban infrastructure. In this snapshot from history, we see both men and women aboard the streetcar, highlighting how public transportation was accessible to people from all walks of life. The passengers appear intrigued by their surroundings as they embark on their journey through an evolving cityscape. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of Korea's rich cultural heritage. It invites us to reflect on how far Seoul has come since then while appreciating its vibrant past. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece from Granger Art on Demand's carousel collection, we are transported back over a century ago when Seoul was embracing progress with open arms.
