"The Artistry of Early Korean Cartography" is a window on the
cultural, technological, and even spiritual factors that affected
the way Koreans observed themselves, their landscape, and the rest
of the world before the twentieth century. How did cartography
stand astride the realms of art and science in pre-modern Korea?
How do Koreans today understand the roots of their own culture, and
what new perspective can their insights lend to our own views of
the world? These questions and many others are taken up by three of
Korea's leading scholars, Han Youngwoo, Ahn Hwi-Joon, and Bae Woo
Sung. In this book, nearly one hundred color images of important
cartographic works open up the 'Hermit Kingdom' to reveal its
perceptions of itself and the world around it.
