Ten scenes at Hamhŭng and ten more scenes of the northern borders of Korea. Nam Ku-man (南九萬, 1629-1711), when posted to Hamgyŏng Province as governor between 1671 and 1674, selected a set of ten scenic spots of Hamhŭng, and another set of ten scenic spots of Kwanbuk, native place of the founding king of Chosŏn, and had a painter paint the scenes, subsequently pairing each painting with his own prose on the 'Ten Views of Hamhŭng' and the 'Ten Views of Kwanbuk.' Today, the original paintings with his text written on them are not extant. However, the theme was popular until the end of Chosŏn period and many copies of them were produced. This album is one of the examples, the album of 'Ten Views of Hamhŭng' and 'Ten Views of Kwanbuk.' The paintings show the topography and the landmarks representing each of the ten scenic spots, such as fortress walls and military and administrative facilities. On the upper part of each album leaf is the transcription of Nam Ku-man's prose. This corresponds with the style of the works, 'Ten Views of Hamhŭng' and 'Ten Views of Kwanbuk' in the collection of the National Museum of Korea done in the 18th century. However, the elements in the paintings in this album are rendered more simply and are mannered in style. The album has an inscription added by Chongsan (鍾山). It says he came to Hamhŭng in early spring in 1882 and appreciated the album, 'Ten Views of Hamhŭng,' in the collection of Hyanggyo (鄉校), the local county school. He, thus, asked T'oegyo (退校) Na Wŏn-sŏk (羅元石) to make a copy of the paintings, and bound them into an album. This figure by the name of Chongsan has not been identified, but one of the candidates could be Hong Ki-ju (洪岐周, 1829-?), who was appointed to the post of judge of Hamhŭng in January, 1882. and 그림의전래과정과설명이있음.

The seating of the ten dignitaries of the Ŭigŭmbu, a bureau of the Korean royal government. This is an album of painting and calligraphy to commemorate the gathering of officials who served in the Ŭigŭmbu, a bureau of the Chosŏn government. The album contains a painting of the scene of the Kyehoe (契會), a friendly gathering of literati or officials, and a list of the participants. The list in this album includes ten members: eight who passed civil examinations, one who passed military examinations, and one named Yi Chung-hyŏn (李重鉉) who was serving in the office without passing a state examination. Based on the fact that the majority of the participants passed civil examinations prior to 1804, this gathering probably took place in 1807. During the Chosŏn period, officials often held friendly gatherings and commemorated the occasion by sharing the same copy of the painting of the scene. Among such paintings still extant, those of the Ŭigŭmbu are the most numerous. The commemorative paintings can be categorized into two types. The first type uses a parallel oblique composition in which the buildings and the landscape are captured in cross-court direction and the figures rendered in a small portion. The second type describes the buildings and the figures with a frontal bird's-eye-view, and the figures are delineated in a close-up. The painting contained in this album belongs to the second type. and 의금부관원들의계모임에관한책.
