Percival Lowell was the first foreigner who came into Korea with a camera in 1883 and left about 80 of photographic materials. The materials have not been studied even though all of them are the only and first in the history of Korea. Most of the materials archived by Putnam Collection Center in America are offered on-line with wrong explanations and referred by writers and researchers. So that I studied the contents of the photographic materials and suggest corrected explanations to the Center.
