This album titled Pyoam yuchae contains calligraphic works by Kang Se-hwang (1713-1791, pen-name: Pyoam), dating from the winter of 1790. They are a series of seven-word poems composed by Song poet Yang Shi and others, written in semi-cursive script. The information about jukcheong paper, found at the end of the album, is highly valuable for insights it offers into paper-making in Joseon, in the late 18th century. A good number of writing samples of Kang Se-hwang have survived to the present in various forms, including calligraphy albums, letters and folding screens. But, few of them have as clearly established dates and circumstances as this one. Meanwhile, the calligraphy works contained in this album are among his last works, dating from his later years, and display a level of maturity unprecedented in any other works of his, which makes this album even more valuable.
