Colour map, black and white photographic illustrations, 53 x 38 cm, folds into 18.2 x 9 cm, a little light wear along folds but otherwise very good.

An attractive folding map and travel guide to Korea, produced by the Railway Bureau of the Japanese colonial government. The cover illustration depicts a Korean woman drawing water from a stream into a traditional water container. The map shows the Korean Peninsula with major towns clearly marked, and is bordered by a series of black-and-white photographs of notable landmarks, including a cityscape of Seoul and a flock of sheep in northern Korea. These images are set within a decorative design featuring figures in traditional Korean dress.

The reverse of the map includes a range of practical travel information, detailing the country’s railway network and suggested itineraries covering key destinations. It also provides more in-depth descriptions of sights along five principal railway routes: from Busan to Seoul (Keijō); from Seoul to Andong; from Daejeon to Mokpo; from Seoul to Wonsan; and from Wonsan to Hoeryong.
