In Korea with Marquis Ito
George Trumbull Ladd's 1908 New York account of Japanese foreign relations with Korea, published by C. Scribner's, records a journey made in Marquis Ito's company. The pictures are plain black-and-white halftone photographs printed sideways on the page, showing Korean palace architecture, a ceremonial hall, and street scenes of processions and funerals, useful to a designer for documentary texture and early twentieth-century East Asian street life.
