...quite a number of early books about Korea are available through the Internet
...a list of some of the most obviously interesting titles [is] at
   http://hompi.sogang.ac.kr/anthony/BooksKorea.htm   but a search for "Korea" in the "texts" section of the Internet Archive http://www.archive.org/index.php     will bring up many more.

[for Isabella Bird's 19c travels, see also] http://hompi.sogang.ac.kr/anthony/Bird/KoreaandherNeighbors.htm  a few additional photos taken by her that were not used in her book. Those of Kwanghwa-mun and the west gate to Pusan-jin are especially interesting.
