'Album of Royal Correspondence from Queens Sukmyeong and Royal Consorts' collects Korean-language correspondence sent by King Hyojong (1619-1659), King Hyeonjong (1641-1674), Queen Consort Jangryeol (1624-1688, consort of King Injo), and Queen Consort Inseong (1618-1674) to Princess Sukmyeong (淑明公主), the third daughter of King Hyojong. Princess Sukmyeong married Shim Ik-hyeon (沈益顯, 1641-1683), a minor official of the Cheongpyeong clan. The album contains sixty-six pieces of correspondence: seven from King Hyojong, two from King Hyeonjong, two from Queen Consort Jangryeol, and fifty-four from Queen Consort Inseong. Currently, the first page is separately mounted as a framed piece, and the second page has been lost though a photograph survives, indicating the original contained sixty-six pieces. This album constitutes precious material for examining Joseon royal Korean-language correspondence alongside Gyeongmyeong University's Dongsan Library collection 'Album of Royal Correspondence, Volume 2,' Ojukheon Museum's 'Relics Related to Princess Myeong'an' (Treasure) containing correspondence from King Hyeonjong, Queen Consort Myeongseong (1642-1683), and King Sukjong, and related albums. Furthermore, the album contains numerous representative calligraphic works from the seventeenth century representing the transitional period from ancient to palace script styles in Korean calligraphy, establishing it as a reference standard for related research fields.
