Developed in the 17th century, ch’onhado maps remained popular until the 19th century. They are circular, symbolising a flat earth, and have a Sino-centric perspective. The Tae Chosŏn Chido (Great Map of Chosŏn) shows China at the centre as a red circle with a yellow interior, Korea (Chosŏn) as a yellow-bordered rectangle with a red interior, and Japan in a yellow rectangle to the east. Surrounding rings of land and sea depict real and mythical places, drawn mainly from classical Chinese literature. These maps, unique to Korea, were usually the opening pages of atlases, offering a world view before more detailed maps of individual regions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eills colour\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e18 x 33 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003emap\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrench\/English\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Art Data","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56088336761216,"sku":null,"price":21.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2009\/7115\/files\/TaeChosonChido_v.1875_508326d4-1769-455d-930f-a5c3d8243219.jpg?v=1785930771"},{"product_id":"the-north-pole-1636","title":"The North Pole (1636) - Reliefs Editions","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-detail-name\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe North Pole (1636)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis Dutch map of the North Pole and its surroundings owes much to two great explorers from the turn of the 17th century: to the east, the Dutchman Willem Barentsz (1550–1597), who unsuccessfully sought the Northeast Passage; and to the west, the Englishman William Baffin (1584–1622), who failed to find the Northwest Passage. Cartography of that time, particularly at these latitudes, remained approximate and was filled with vast, uncharted areas.
