Description
51 folding leaves. Large 8vo (270 x 180 mm.), orig. yellow patterned semi-stiff wrappers. Kyŏngsŏng (Seoul): Irhan Sŏbang 日韓書房, 1909. An uncommon geographical treatise from the late Chosŏn period, compiled by Sŏng Hae-ŭng (1760-1839) during the reign of King Jeongjo (r. 1776-1800). This work surveys approximately 100 of Korea’s most celebrated scenic and historic mountains and sites, organized into nine regions: Gyeongdo, Giro, Haeseo, Gwanso, Hojung, Honam, Yeongnam, Gwandong, and Gwanbuk. Sŏng provides detailed descriptions of each site’s landscape, topography, legendary figures, historical episodes, and the cultural ethnography of local people. Sŏng Hae-ŭng, appointed as a librarian at the Gyujanggak (Royal Library) in 1788, is regarded as a key figure in the second generation of the sirhak (practical learning) movement. Offering a dynamic and critical alternative to prevailing Neo-Confucian orthodoxy, the sirhak movement championed empirical research and the reform of society by grounding knowledge in practical observation and verification. Tongguk myŏngsan-ki epitomizes such spirit. Beyond its original import, our 1909 republication by Irhan Sŏbang — an affiliated printing house of the Tokyo School of Foreign Languages alumni association — invites special attention. Released at a time when Korea was becoming accessible to the Japanese upper-middle class and as expanding rail and ship networks hinted at the dawn of modern travel, this book uniquely bridged documentary tradition and early stirrings of tourism interest. Resonating with the established East Asian genre of literary and geographical exploration — for example, seen in Japan’s celebrated meisho zue (“illustrated guides to famous places”) — its republication reflected not only scholarly and administrative aims but also a broader impulse to catalogue, comprehend, and romantically imagine Korea’s landscape’s during the imperial transition. On the other hand, the edition’s origins with Korean students in Japanese schools underscore their desire to reclaim and know their own country at a time when heritage was increasingly filtered through outside perspectives. Fine fresh copy, printed with metal movable type. ❧ The Asami Library 20.4.

Audsley, W[illiam] (b. 1833) & G[eorge] (1838-1925), illuminators. The sermon on the mount . . . Illustrated by Charles Rolt. Chromolithographed by W. R. Timms. [27]ff. on heavy paper, each leaf tipped to a cloth hinge. Chromolithographed plates tipped onto the rectos of each leaf, within double-ruled red printed borders. [London: Day & Son, 1861.] 350 x 254 mm. Original publisher's binding of elaborately gilt-stamped brown pebble-grain cloth with paper onlays on the front cover, back cover stamped in blind, all edges gilt. Some wear at extremities and corners, small split at the bottom of the front hinge. Some foxing, but very good. First Edition. "One of the outstanding monuments to the Victorian passion for illumination" (McLean, Victorian Book Design and Colour Printing, p. 98). The Sermon on the Mount was the first book published by George and William Audsley, who, like Owen Jones, were both architects and book designers. The book was issued in both folio and royal quarto versions. "The royal quarto version of the Audsley's Sermon has one of the most colorful and complex covers created in the 19th century. There is a consistent pattern of references to Greek design and texts on the front cover, done in brown pebble-grained cloth with thirteen colored-paper and chromolithographed cutout onlays, some of which may be lacquered. Blocking in gold and black reinforces the geometric regularity of the cover, while green stenciling adds another color" (Beckwith, p. 22). A. Beckwith, Victorian Bibliomania: The Illuminated Book in 19th-Century Britain, no. 9. E. M. B. King, Victorian Decorated Trade Bindings 1830-1880, no. 681. .
