This is an album featuring a series of five-word regulated poems written in the hand of Yi Han-jin (1732-1796?, pen-name: Gyeongsan), a celebrated calligrapher of the late 18th century. These calligraphic works were made in 1790 (the 14th year of King Jeongjo’s reign) when Yi Han-jin was fifty-nine years of age, in seal script and in clerical script. His seal script works are in the so-called okjeojeon style, well-known through the brushwork of the Tang-Dynasty calligrapher Li Yangbing. As for his clerical script, his style is a mixture between the styles of the Li Qi stele and the Cao Quan stele, two Eastern Han steles famous for their seal script inscriptions. Yi Han-jin inherited the seal script style of great Joseon calligraphers who came before him such as Yi In-sang and Song Mun-heum and took it to the next level. This album is arguably the best of his surviving writing samples in terms of evincing his talent and the tradition of which he was the heir.
