Old Paintings of Korean Archery


Korean "Yangban" practicing archery


(1929) "A Group of Archers, Korea or Chosen" from a card that came in a British cigarette pack Koreans practicing archery


Korean man with bow, watching Korean women washing


Very similar looking drawings; the first is German, from about 1900 -- the second is from 1901, drawn by a British officer (the British drawing looks more like the original to me)


French painting, from 1826
