Korea South 2022 "Folding Screen of Books & Scholar's Accoutrements no Bookshelves' Sheet
Bookgado is a folding screen depicting various objects such as books, stationery, ceramics, bronzes, flowers and fruits on the shelf of a bookcase, and is also called Book Street. In the 18th century, in the late Joseon Dynasty, the hobby of collecting precious books and appreciating antiques spread widely, and bookshelves became popular. In particular, the love of King Jeongjo's bookkeeper, who advocated civil politics, was extraordinary. It is said that King Jeongjo also opened a folding screen behind the throne of Changdeokgung Palace to explain his meaning to his servants, and made him draw a school map during the evaluation of the king's exclusive painter, "Jabi Colonel's Garden."
Lee Hyung-rok is considered one of the greatest bookmakers of the 19th century. Lee Hyung-rok grew up in a family that produced Dohwaseo reduction for generations. His father, Lee Yoon-min, also left his name as a bookkeeper, and even his grandson, Lee Deok-young, drew it well, indicating that he inherited the painting method in the family. Among them, Lee Hyung-rok's representative work, "Bookmark Screen," is a masterpiece consisting of a total of 10 widths. From the second width on the left side of the folding screen, the seal of the seal box on the second stage says "Lee Eung-rok-in," indicating the author. "Lee Eung-rok" was renamed when Lee Hyung-rok was 57 years old. He changed his name twice in his lifetime, from Lee Hyung-rok to Lee Eung-rok in 1864, and from Lee Eung-rok to Lee Taek-gyun in 1871. Therefore, it is estimated that this work was painted between 1864 and 1871. If you look closely at the picture, the side of the bookshelf becomes darker as you go inside, and the book is drawn diagonally according to its location. In this way, the folding screen is characterized by a sense of space and three-dimensional effect by applying the perspective and contrast method of Western painting. In addition to books and stationery, a new Western artifact, the clock, features azaleas, daffodils, chrysanthemums, and peony flowers. It all has the meaning of auspiciousness.

Please enjoy Lee Hyung-rok's folding screen as a commemorative stamp, which is evaluated as the best bookcase of the time due to its precise description of books and articles.
