Alice Roosevelt, straddling a funerary figure. She and her party visited Korea in August 1905. Dead kings of the Yi Dynasty were surrounded by imposing stone figures of ministers and warriors as well as of various animals. From the characteristic of the tomb shown in this picture, it probably is the tomb of King Taejo (1392-1398).
