Historical Significance Decisive evidence from the early stages of the Residency-General system, immediately following the Eulsa Treaty: This artifact is a government New Year's postcard issued on New Year's Day in 1907 (Meiji 40), right after the diplomatic rights of the Korean Empire were stripped. It holds immense historical and academic value as it captures the actual scenery of the 'Residency-General,' the heart of the Residency-General system, during the period when Ito Hirobumi reigned as Resident-General and was actively solidifying the structure of occupation and control over the Korean Peninsula. Visual Rarity and Authenticity: The architecture of the Residency-General, which was the highest center of political and administrative power at the time, and the surrounding Gyeongseong are printed intact. This is an original visual historical record that perfectly proves the time and space of 1907, rather than an image processed by later generations. Intellectual and Medical Networks of the Era (Recipient and Sender): Recipient: To 'Matsumura Sansei,' a doctor or key official at Incheon Public Hospital, a major hub during the opening of ports Sender: 'Sasaki Yomoji' in the central district of Gyeongseong-bu (Yamato-machi 3-chome) where the Residency-General was located This is an excellent biographical and regional historical record that shows the actual traces of communication within the Japanese intellectual and administrative networks of the time, connecting Gyeongseong, the center of ruling power, with the port of Incheon.
