Among the stereographs of Korea in this collection, this card stands out for its subject: workers binding dried fish into bales, a scene of everyday commerce rather than a palace or landscape. The card carries the Graves copyright mark and the number 14, and its caption tracings file it under food industry and fish processing, a category that reflects how such images were catalogued for geography and trade. Stereo cards of this kind, produced around 1903, were sold to Western audiences eager to see distant places, so scenes of ordinary labor offer a useful counterpoint to the more posed views of the period. The record's data comes from an older caption, so the exact location and details remain unverified.
