The literati (intellectuals) of East Asia in the pre-modern era engaged in diverse intellectual explorations and literary activities that focused on scenic spots. Particularly in and after the seventeenth century, scholar-officials of the Joseon Dynasty took sightseeing trips to such scenic spots and practiced the creation and appreciation of poems, prose, calligraphy, and paintings related to the sites. This allows us a glimpse into the collective intelligence and artistic pursuits of the society of the time. This is also the social and cultural background behind Album of Paintings of Scenic Spots of Korea and China in the collection of the British Library. The album��s unusual compilation features a poem at the beginning and ten real-scenery landscape paintings of scenic sites in Korea and China. It includes some of the eight Korean scenic sites around Gwanseo in Pyeongan-do Province and Yeongbojeong Pavilion in Boryeong, Chungcheong-do Province, as well as historic scenic spots in the Jiangnan region of China, such as Yueyang Pavilion, Huanghe Pavilion, and the Sanxia Gorges. When the album was remounted, a poem was added. The signature following the poem includes the name of Yi Don-jung whose family was connected by marriage to the family of Seo Myeong-eung. Seo��s career record indicates that he served as an official both in Chungcheong-do and Pyeongan-do Provinces. Accordingly, it seems highly probable that the families of Yi Don-jung and Seo Myeong-eung might have been involved in the production and transmission of Album of Paintings of Scenic Spots of Korea and China. The composition and depictions of details in this album��s paintings correspond to styles popular in the late eighteenth century. This artwork thus provides a notable historical source for studying the late-Joseon practice of appreciating scenic spots not only in Korea, but also in China.
