<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">That is a wonderful article,

As for the Kim Tae-gŏn main from 1845 or 1846, the place names there
<br>
seem not to have been in Han'gŭl but in Roman letters that then, in
<br>
most cases, rendered the Korean pronunciation of place names, as this
<br>
was a map prepared for Western missionaries to enter Korea. I have not
<br>
seen the original, just reprints in various Korean works, and <br>
descriptions. (It's actually pretty popular and almost always gets a
<br>
mention when Kim Tae-gŏn is mentioned.) In 2009 a specially prepared
<br>
COPY of the original was made for an exhibition at the Jeoldusan <br>
Catholic Martyrs Museum in Seoul (exhibit Nov. 5-22, 2009). <br>
Also, the Tok-do Museum (독도박물관) has a copy of the copy (to no
<br>
surprise):<br>

That is a really small image, unfortunately; still, all you see is in
<br>
French. In later editions you see Chinese being added--see e.g. here:
