Korea Delegation to China in 1863
The first photographs of Koreans are released to the public Thursday. The six pictures of the Korean delegation to China were taken at the Russian legation in Beijing in January 1863. Three members of the delegation appear in one of the pictures. A British missionary at the time collected the photos and took them to Britain. Recently, photography professor Park Ju-seok at Myongji University made them public after they came into his possession.

“According to JoongAng Ilbo, London Mission(?) owns them. The School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London is entrusted to take care of them. FYI”
Thanks for that info! I’ll do a little research from there. I called in my own children (we home school) to look at those photos and read the posts. We all love those picks.
Writing this from Shanghai, by the way.

Yes, your wife is right. It is called “Gamtu.”
There is an idiomatic expression in Korea, which translates to “wear gamtu.” It means, “be appointed to a prestigious post.”

Too bad they didn’t just happen to kill Mao’s ancestors during their visit. :’)
