EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of an anonymous master from mid-18th century Korea. Titled "Ch onhado (Map of All Under Heaven)", this piece can be found in the esteemed collection of the British Museum. The map, created using watercolour and ink on paper, is a testament to the skill and precision of its creator. The Ch onhado depicts a world map known as tianxia in Chinese, which translates to "All Under Heaven". This term refers to the concept that China was at the center of civilization and encompassed all lands under its influence. The intricate details and vibrant colors used in this cartographic masterpiece highlight not only geographical features but also cultural aspects prevalent during that era. As we delve into this fine art image, we are transported back in time, gaining insights into historical events and trade routes that shaped our world today. Each stroke tells a story - from distant lands waiting to be explored to bustling cities teeming with life. While little is known about the artist behind this remarkable work, their talent shines through every line drawn with meticulous care. It serves as a reminder of how art has always been a powerful medium for preserving history and culture. This print offers us an opportunity to appreciate both the beauty and significance of ancient cartography while celebrating the craftsmanship of an anonymous master whose legacy lives on through their extraordinary creation.
