This is a ten-piece folding screen with embroideries of books and stationery. Paintings of books and stationery were in vogue in the late Joseon dynasty. In particular, King Jeongjo (1752-1800) ordered painters of the royal palace to paint depictions of books and stationery. Such paintings became popular not only among the royal family and aristocrats, but among commoners as well. The embroideries of each side of this folding screen contain books, containers, brush, ink paper and ink stone, among others. The colors of the patterns are diversely expressed with threads that are made with two colorful yarns. #FoldingScreen #SeoulMuseumOfCraft #joseondynasty #Books #Book #Bookstagram #BooksOfInstagram #Seoul #SouthKorea #booksbooksbooks #booklover #booknerd #bookaddict (at 서울공예박물관 Seoul Museum of Craft Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/CirH8ePL7up/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
