An atlas of Korea. This is an atlas of Chosŏn dynasty, and can be considered a follow-up version of the Tongguk chido (東國地圖), or the Map of Korea, drawn by Chŏng Sang-gi (鄭尚驥, 1678-1752), which has been evaluated as an outstanding accomplishment in the history of cartography. The atlas consists of a complete map of Korea, and eight maps for the provinces. The complete map of Korea is a down-scaled version in smaller size. As to the maps of each province, Kyŏnggi Province and Ch'ungch'ŏng Province were drawn in one piece, while Hamgyŏng Province, larger in area, was rendered in two pieces; northern and southern Hamgyŏng Province. A scale of one hundred ri (里) to one cha (尺) was applied and marked accurately on each of the provincial maps. The introduction of accurate scale to the map was one of the most striking features of Chŏng Sang-gi's Map of Korea. Also noteworthy are the elaborate rendering of the demarcation lines of the northern borders, and the detailed representation of the land and the sea routes, which are also the characteristics of Chŏng Sang-gi's maps. This atlas is presumed to be a copy of one that was produced before 1767 because the town names of Anŭm (安陰) and Sanŭm (山陰) of Kyŏngsang Province are given using earlier names instead of the new names adopted in that year. Other distinguishing features are that Paegyagot (白也串) in the east of Hŭngyang (興陽), Chŏlla Province is represented as an island instead of a promontory, that there is a lake near Sŏgwip'o in Cheju Island, and that the place names are marked on the northern banks across the Amnok River (鴨綠江) and Tuman River (豆滿江), which had previously been left blank. These attest to the fact that this atlas was produced or at least is a copy of one that was produced in between the original version of Chŏng Sang-gi's Map of Korea and its revised version. and 전도와8도의지도를엮음.

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.
