| Essay Description of Item | The Daedong yeojido was produced by the great Korean geographer Kim Jeong-ho. The map is at a scale of about 1:162,000 and is a wood block print that includes two inset maps of Seoul, texts and diagrams. The map is on twenty-two folded sheets and when displayed open, measures nearly thirteen feet wide and twenty feet in length. The long sheets were designed to be folded accordion style making this large and otherwise unwieldy map easier to use. The AGSL Daedong yeojido was once owned by George C. Foulk, who served as the U.S. Naval attache to Korea between 1884 and 1887. Other maps and 43 photographs from George C. Foulk are also held at the AGS Library. The hand drawn index sheet is unique to the AGSL copy of this map. A symposium featuring Korean scholars discussed this map in November 2009.
