An album of Korean Empire’s last crown prince Yeongwang(Yeongchinwang) Yi Eun’s (1897-1970) pictures painted when he was studying in Japan. Installed as a crown prince at the age of 11 in 1907, Yeongwang was taken as a hostage to Japan December that year under the pretext of studying in Japan. This album seems to have been made when he was having painting lessons. His drawing skill is very good that is seems like he has enjoyed painting. In the title page, it is written that the album was found among secret documents of Sunjong when clearing out Yeongwa storage of old Seonwonjeon in 1958.
