Summary
| Description |
"Sketch Map of Corea": a map of Korea from the 9th edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
The map misplaces Hamhung on Iwon Bay and includes two mountains given by their Chinese names—equivalent to Xianfeng and Daoguang—which do not exist in any way, shape, or form and are apparently the result of mistaken measurements undertaken by the Russian frigate Pallada and the French frigate Virginie in the 1850s. |
