A commoner's house is adorned with Korean and American flags. The owner of the house stands in front of his house and a passerby in full Korean outfit, holds a fan to protect his face from the sun. Hopes for American protection from the Japanese ran high in the general population at the time the image was taken, symbolized by the flying of the American flag.
