George Rose, an Australian photographer, visited Korea in 1904. Rose took a number of photographs of everyday life in Korea at that time.
These historically-significant images were drawn to the attention of the both countries.
In 2004, with the co-operation of the National Institute of Korean History, Korean photographer Mr Koo Bohn-chang, Mr Ron Blum of Adelaide, and Mr Norman Thorpe of the USA produced a high quality book of the George Rose photographs, "1904 Korea through Australian Eyes".
The book was co-published by Kyobo Book Centre and the Australia-Korea Foundation.
