A rare discovery, this c. 1850 woodblock map is one of the few early Korean maps of Korea to be found outside of Korea. It is significant on many levels, being a record of Korea following the reign of King Sunjo (조선 순조; 1790 - 1834), a period when Korea was facing increased pressure from foreign powers, including Japan, Russia, and China.
