Description
This is a comprehensive atlas consisting of three volumes of hand-drawn colored maps of diverse realms, including the world capitals (Cheonhado jido), the Joseon-era Korea (Joseon jeondo), the capital city of Joseon (Doseongdo), and counties (Gunhyeon jido) throughout Joseon. The first volume contains maps of Korea, its capital city, travel routes of Joseon diplomatic missions visiting China, and China. The second volume has maps of individual provinces, and the third volume maps of Chinese provinces. It is not known exactly when this atlas was produced but the cartographic techniques and expressions are remarkable. The maps are among the earliest detailed maps of Korea and are highly valuable materials historically and academically.
