Description: The picture shows the modernized old Korea. King 'Kojong' believed that the new western technology such as electricity, streetcars, gold mining, and railroads could made the nation wealthy and strong. The location is probably at the outskirts of Seoul, where the new tramcar was installed in 1899.
