Summary
| Description |
Collection: Willard Dickerman Straight and Early U.S.-Korea Diplomatic Relations, Cornell University Library Title: [View over wall onto smoldering ruins] Date: ca. 1904 Place: Asia: South Korea; Seoul Type: Photographs Description: Probably the fire scene at the 'Toksugung' (?) (Palace of Virtuous Long Life). The fire destroyed many buildings of the palace. The origin of this fire is a mystery, but rumors at the time blamed it on the Japanese authorities. It seems that soldiers are looking for something. Toksugung' was originally built as a royal villa. However, as other palaces were burnt down during the Japanese invasion in 1592, Toksugung was then used as a palace. [-]. Sokchojon, among other buildings in the palace grounds, is the first Renaissance-style building in Korea. It now houses the Royal Museum, which exhibits items used by the royal court.'
