This is a 14-page atlas of the Korean Peninsula. Belonging to a very rare type, this one appears to be a more developed version of Joseon Jido (Atlas of Korea) or Haedongnyeojido (Map of Korea), an atlas with a focus on small administrative units dating from the late 18th century. It is presumed that this atlas had some influence on the production of Cheonggudo (Map of Korea) during the late Joseon period.
