This is a pictorial record of King Jeongjo’s visit to Hyeollyungwon in Suwon, the tomb of his father, Crown Prince Sado. He was accompanying his mother, Lady Hyegyeonggung Hong, to commemorate her 60th birthday in the second lunar month in 1795 (the 19th year of King Jeongjo’s reign). The pontoon bridge they used to cross the Hangang River and various events at Hwaseong Fortress are depicted in vivid colors on paper.
