Summary[edit]

Description

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

Title: Emperor of Korea

Date: ca. 1904

Place: Asia: South Korea; Seoul

Type: Portraits

Description: King Sunjong (1874-1926), the emperor of Korea, in full dress as the head of state of the Empire of the Great Han (i.e. Korea). He was the second son of King 'Kojong' and Queen Min. After King 'Kojong' was accused of endangering Korea's sovereignty and security as an independent political entity, 'Sunjong' became the last ruler of the Yi Dynasty (1907-1910). In fact, King 'Kojong' - then in custody of the Japanese military in the Toksugung (Palace of Virtuous Long Life) in Seoul - sent secret envoys to the International Peace Conference in Hague in June 1907, 'exposing Japanese invasion of Korea to the whole world.'
