[KS] Map of Seoul; 경조오부도(京兆五部圖) in Hangul at AGS Library, Milwaukee, WI

[Yoo Kwang-On]

Dear Frank,

Thanks for the response but;

1. I am still waiting for your answer to my previous question on maps in
Hangul other than Garbor map and 경조오부도.

2. I did not say the commoners used maps in Hangul because, I think, there
were non other than above two.

3. The World Maps in Unique Korean Chonhados are not " based on Chinese
maps"
these are uniquely Korean World maps in Hanmun.

Regards,

Yoo Kwang-On
