I love it! How did you happen to come across this? So, this is an American troupe in Seoul... what brought them here? I'd love to know more. Thanks for sharing it!
This is from Modôn ppoi Kyôngsônhûl kônilda ("Modern boy strolling in Seoul") a book by Sin Myông-jik depicting the arrival of modernity in Korea at the time of Japanese colonial era through this kind of manmun manhwa illustrated newspaper columns.
