Description
This is a historically significant postal card, actually sent on April 8, 1905, during the Korean Empire era from Seoul to the French Legation.

The recipient is meticulously addressed in French: "Monsieur F. Berteaux. Legatidn de Frennce. Seoul."

This exceptionally rare card was sent to Mr. F. Berteaux, then with the French Legation in Seoul.

While many Korean Empire postcards circulating today feature concurrently printed stamps, this particular card is a rare collector's item affixed with a 3-jeon stamp commemorating the 40th anniversary of the Korean Empire's ascension.

The reverse of the card features a photograph with notable figures:
- The individual wearing an 'ikseongwan' (a type of traditional hat) is identified as the Crown Prince (or royal descendant).
- This figure is depicted wearing a 'bo' (a type of ceremonial robe) adorned with dragon or phoenix motifs on the chest.
- The other three individuals are dressed in the highest official attire of the time.

This postcard, featuring such a detailed photograph on its reverse, is believed to be the only one of its kind discovered to date among Korean Empire postcards.

The fact that this card was delivered to Mr. J. Berteaux, a diplomat at the French Legation in Korea, signifies contact between high-ranking Korean officials of the time (as depicted in the photograph, possibly including Hong Yeong-guk, son of Hong Yeong-sik, founder of the GPO) and the French Legation. This makes it an invaluable piece of historical evidence, offering a rare glimpse into inter-personal connections of the era.
