친일인사들의 행적에 대한 『대한민보』(1909~1910)의 인식 －삽화를 중심으로－

Abstract

In 1909, Daehanminbo was a newspaper published by Daehan Association. It started Korea's first current affairs cartoon under the name of saphwa. A satirical cartoon was published on the front page of the newspaper. And it drew the attention of readers at the time. Many people were informed of the various changes in society. And tried to enlighten newspaper readers. The cartoon of Daehanminbo explained the purpose of the Daehan Association through images. In addition, the direction of enlightenment pursued by the Daehan Association, the wrong behavior of pro-Japanese group, and the policies of the Korean Empire government composed of pro-Japanese groups were drawn and reported as cartoons. Japan introduced the Newspaper Act, which was being implemented in Japan at the time, and enacted the Gwangmu Newspaper Act in the Korean Empire to suppress the newspaper and other media companies. Daehanminbo was censored and suppressed by the Gwangmu Newspaper Act. And Daehanminbo had to find a way to avoid censorship and oppression. This changed the satirical method of Japan and criticized the behavior of pro-Japanese group and the activities of organizations established and operated by pro-Japanese group. Through this, Japan's invasion policy was satirized. Daehanminbo's cartoon was serialized for a year from June 1909 to August 1910. It is important and valuable to find the changing social status and public interest of the time. It is hoped that Daehanminbo's cartoon study, which recorded the last year of the Korean Empire as a cartoon, will be conducted more actively by many researchers.
