Few pictures on this board show a working forge, and this stereograph records a blacksmith shop just outside the East Gate in Korea, where a horse is being shod in the open street. The card dates to about 1904, when Seoul was the capital of the Korean Empire and foreign photographers were producing many stereo views of the city's gates, markets, and daily trades. Horseshoeing like this was essential work for travelers, carriers, and officials who depended on animals for transport. Because the scene shows ordinary labor rather than monuments, it offers a useful glimpse of street life at the time.
