Gesang School (i.e. kisaeng school)


Image by Cornell University Library
Collection: Willard Dickerman Straight and Early U.S.-Korea Diplomatic Relations, Cornell University Library

Title: Gesang School (i.e. kisaeng school)

Date: ca. 1904

Place: Asia: North Korea; Pyongyang

Type: Postcards/Ephemera

Description: Korean kisaengs, or singing girls, dressed up for singing and dancing. Korean kisaeng is special women’s occupation that exists for helping parties enjoyable by singing and dancing. Their social position was among the lowest in the traditional Korean class system. Their daughters also became kisaengs and their sons became slaves. The art of entertaining of the kisaeng is analogous to Japanese geisha. These professional entertainers were highly trained in the arts of poetry, music, dance, and other forms of social or artistic diversion. The picture is somewhat curious. It was taken in front of a modern, western-style brick building, with a very peculiar Korean screen as the backdrop.

Inscription/Marks: Inscription in characters imprinted on image; pencilled inscription on verso: ‘Gesang School’

Spinning Cotton


Image by Oregon State University Archives
Image Title: Spinning Cotton

Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "Cotton is not a native plant in Japan either. It is said that by chance some seeds were brought from India in the year 799 A.D. and being planted they grew well. Then the people learned, from the Chinese, again, how to clean, spin, and weave and thus another useful fabric was added to their wardrobes. the cotton spinning and weaving industries area now very important occupations in Japan. However, the native supply of the raw material is nothing like sufficient; therefore great quantities are brought from abroad, China, India, Egypt, and even the United States. But the Quantity of yarn and cloth produced is greater than is needed at home; consequently exporting these goods to the continent of Asia is one of Japan’s most profitable trades.

Japan’s cotton mills increased nearly 300 percent during the world war. The earthquake of 1923 gave the industry a set back but it has practically recovered from that and is today using nearly two million bales of cotton annually, three-tenths of which was shipped from America. In 1924 Japan exported manufactured cotton good to the amount of 150 million dollars."

Few of the American nurses in France


Image by National Library of Scotland
Nurses, stretching from one side of the photograph to the other, are milling around in front of the camera. They are all wearing long white dresses and neat square caps with their hair tied back except for two of the women who are entirely in black. It is sunny and so some of the women are squinting. They are all smiling and look relaxed. They are not all facing the camera though and they are not placed in formation suggesting that this is not a formal photograph.

Nursing was one of the few occupations which allowed women access to the Front. It was also the only occupation which enabled women during this period to travel around different areas out with Great Britain.
