This is a woodblock printed copy of a map of Seoul that is presumed to have been made by Kim Jeong-ho (pen-name: Gosanja). It is thought to be based on an earlier map of Seoul contained in Cheonggudo (Map of Korea), which was made by Kim in 1834. The copy is valued both as a detailed map of Seoul and as a woodblock print.
