Suseonjeondo Painting

This is a map copied in pen based on Kim Jeong-ho's Suseonjeondo, produced around 1892 and presumed to have been used by American missionaries. Surviving Hangeul-script maps of Hanyang, present-day Seoul, are rare, and this map allows the place names of Hanyang in the late nineteenth century to be identified in detail, giving it value for both the history of cartography and philology.
