Here’s a selection of the conversations happening on these photos & illustrations:

Girls' class, Syen Chin, Korea (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Art Siegel said:

  This is probably from what is now known in English as Sonchon or Sonch’on, North Korea, a town and county in the far northwest of the country. It was also spelled Sen Sen, Syen Shun, Syen Chun and a few other variations in early 20th century publications. A 1917 report on Protestant missionary activity describes it: "Syen Chun is our northernmost Station in Korea situated 100 miles northwest of Pyeng Yang in the thickly populated country which borders on the Yellow Sea." books.google.com/books?id=zYJEAQAAMAAJ&pg=RA5-PA211&a... map: mapcarta.com/16085174 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonchon_County see also: books.google.com/books?id=h2gwAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA196&d... books.google.com/books?id=Xw7PAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA129&l...

• Navy Medicine said:

  Jens-Olaf Walter Thank you. It's just a snapshot, but it can be hard to find a picture taken on the same day at some points, so I'm glad you liked it.

[Women washing laundry in stream]

from Cornell University Library

• kushibo2000 said:

  I could be wrong, but I think your description may be inaccurate. I don't think this is a street with a stream running through it but the streamed itself. It's possible it could be Ch'ŏnggyech'ŏn (Cheonggyecheon).

• Seoulite Henry said:

  서대문 이화여고 후문 쪽- 왜정시대 연초 공장(왼쪽), 멀리 인왕산이 보입니다. 이곳의 영문 설명이 잘못되어 있습니다.

• 한울 Hanwool 김 Kim said:

  정동과 무교동을 거쳐 청계천으로 흘러들던 정릉동천의 풍경으로 추정됩니다. Soulite Henry 님의 말씀과 함께 지도를 확인해보면 정확한 지점을 유추할 수 있을 듯 합니다.

• Tsukiko YAMAMURA said:

  This, indeed, must be a river bed and not a road as a bridge stretches perpendicular over it in the distance. If this was a road that bridge would be a hindrance to anyone with a cart. On the left what that individual is sitting upon would be an excessively high kerb if this be a street. Possibly there has been little rainfall and therefore a restricted run-off from the distant hills.

• Cornell University Library said:

  Thank you all of you for your remarks. I will forward your comments to the curator of this collection.
