French information on Korea around those years is extremely important, since only French missionary were allowed to stay in Korea except for Chinese and Japanese officials.<BR/><BR/>Could you please make posts for each maps? I think each of three maps deserve it. (You don't have to delete what you have written in this posts, though. It is also important to show the transition.)Kaneganesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533339719864245857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26948035.post-45305407274114205712008-07-03T14:51:00.000+09:002008-07-03T14:51:00.000+09:00Kaneganese,I found the map Carta de la Coree and a...Kaneganese,<BR/><BR/>I found the map Carta de la Coree and added it to the post.

I agree with you, this map may have been made after tracing old Korean maps and they may have improved the maps adding new information after this one.pacifisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14100903035796287895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26948035.post-79137597723997633632008-07-03T12:33:00.000+09:002008-07-03T12:33:00.000+09:00Thank you, for an interesting map, and the analysi...Thank you, for an interesting map, and the analysis is very interesting.<BR/><BR/>"So if the French mapmaker knew that "Oulangto" was Dagelet island, they should have written as "Oulangto (Dagelet Isl)" but they didn't. It seems that they thought these two islands off Korean east coast were different from Dagelet island."<BR/><BR/>I think this is because it's simply a copy of Korean old maps. But importantly, later, French maps of Korea started to describe both "Oul-leng-to (Ulleundo)" and "Ou-san(Usan)" consist one "Dagelet Island". <BR/><BR/>1874 - "Histoire de L'Eglise de Corée" by Claude Charles Dallet <BR/>http://dokdo-or-takeshima.blogspot.com/2008/05/1874-histoire-de-leglise-de-core-by.html<BR/><BR/>1880 - R. Hausermann's Map of Korea "Corée" (Tyo Syen)<BR/>http://dokdo-or-takeshima.blogspot.com/2008/05/1880-r-hausermanns-map-of-korea.html <BR/><BR/>The transition of those French maps suggests that French identified "Oulangto" (Ulleungdo) and "Ousan" (Usan) in Korean old maps as actually Daglett island, which means French also recognized Usan in Korean old maps are Jukdo, a neighbouring island of Ulleungdo, not Takeshima/Liancourt Rocks just like us.<BR/><BR/>As for Kim Degeon or Andre Kim, is it possible he is same person with "Kim Tayken, Korea's first Catholic priest, who studied and was ordained in China.
