KOREA MANUSCRIPT MAP OF KOREA. [TWENTIETH CENTURY] Large manuscript map of Korea, (805 x 587mm.), old folds, very slightly worn “Koreans have been making and using maps for more than fifteen centuries. Since most of their country's borders were naturally determined by the sea, they had a general concept of Korea's outline at an early date, and their deep consciousness of samch’olli kangsan (three thousand Ii of mountains and rivers) gave their mapmakers a general idea of what went within that outline. Underlying these imprints on the national psyche were a strong tradition of administrative and cultural geography and a nationally conceived theory of geomantic analysis. All these factors contributed to the production of interesting maps” (Ledyard). LITERATURE:Pegg, Richard. Cartographic Traditions in East Asian Maps. Chicago, The MacLean Collection, 2014, pp.85-117; Harley, J.B. and David Woodward.
