Description

A late 18th-century Ch'onha chido atlas with 10 woodblock maps showing the World, China, and the 8 province maps of Korea (Hamgyeong, Gangwon, Jeolla, Gyeongsang, Pyeongan, Hwanghae, and Chungcheong.), bound into thicker mulberry paper covers.

One map with a few more recently added red lines or characters in blue ink.

The world map bearing the title Ch’onhado, with China, Korea, Japan and the Ryukyus at the center, is surrounded by a ring of islands and other landforms that become increasingly mythological with distance from the center.

The second map depicts China and Korea, followed by maps of the eight provinces of Korea. The style and arrangement of the provincial maps is ultimately derivative of the Sinjung tongguk yoji sungnam, as is common for both printed and manuscript atlases of the latter Choson period.

The map of China in this atlas prominently depicts the Great Wall and the Yellow and Yangtze rivers. This map may have been derived from a map produced during the Chinese Ming Empire (1368-1644).

A traditional Korean atlas consists of a world map, China, Korea, Japan, Okinawa, and the 8 provinces. Occasionally, versions with 12 or 11 maps (or, like this one, with 10 maps, being world, china and Korea's eight provinces of Hamgyeong, Gangwon, Jeolla, Gyeongsang, Pyeongan, Hwanghae and Chungcheong.)

The Dongguk yojido atlas in the MacLean collection in Chicago has also 10 maps.
