• Description

  Maps You Will Fall in Love with if You Know: A Mysterious Old Map Story Told by a Museum Curator Maps are a scientific product that provides convenience in life in that they contain accurate geographic information. However, the map expressed in colorful colors and elaborate descriptions gives an aesthetic impression as high as a luxury painting, and in that it shows the world we live in like a story, it stimulates the imagination as much as any other literary work. In particular, old maps were not made scientifically. The maps created by the old people, crossing reality and imagination, were filled with earnest expectations and hopes, sad hearts and regrets, and light humor and deep emotions. For this reason. As such, the old map has the two charms of 'scientific' and 'artistic', and it is also a comprehensive work of art that combines dots, lines, planes, colors, and texts. This book is the story of our ancient map, told by an incumbent museum curator with a doctorate in geography. In the 20th story, readers will meet what kind of 'thoughts' the old people drew on the map, the story of what kind of 'people' and what historical 'story' is contained in the map.
