    Prince Ŭn Yi of Korea: A Noble Legacy, 1897-1970

    $19.95

    This historical photograph depicts Ŭn Yi, who held the title of Prince of Korea from 1897 until his death in 1970. Born into the Joseon Dynasty, he was a notable figure during a turbulent time in Korean history, which saw significant political and social changes. Ŭn Yi was a member of the last ruling dynasty of Korea, which was officially declared a kingdom in 1897, a year that marked the establishment of the Korean Empire. His life spanned an era when Korea struggled with colonial pressures and changing power dynamics in East Asia.

    The princes background is a significant window into Koreas modern history, especially around the early 20th century. This period was characterized by Korea’s annexation by Japan in 1910. As a royal, Ŭn Yi experienced the fall of traditional monarchic authority and the challenges that came with foreign domination. Understanding figures like him is crucial to comprehending the complexities of Koreas past and the evolution of its national identity. This photograph serves not just as a likeness of an individual, but as a visual context of an entire era fraught with cultural and political transformation.
