Things Korean is a 1908 collection of sketches and anecdotes by the American missionary and diplomat Horace Newton Allen, published in New York and Chicago by F. H. Revell for a general Western readership. Its photographs show everyday Korean life, from women working in a courtyard and a bearded elder on a donkey to loaded oxen beside a tiled-roof gate, offering a designer documentary street and village scenes with strong tonal contrast and plain, unposed composition.
