Lot Essay

The first two characters in the title refer to Hamgyeong-do and Pyeongan-do respectively. Both of those provinces are in the northern part of North Korea today and both border on China.
For a similar map in the collection of Musée Guimet, Paris, see The Poetry of Ink - The Korean Literati Tradition 1392-1910 (Paris: Musée Guimet, 2005), pl. 113.
