규장각 소장 「강화지도」의 원형 복원 모사 연구

Abstract

This study was conducted from May 2023 to January 2024 with the aim of creating a reproduction of the original version of the Ganghwa Jido map held at the Kyujanggak Institute for Korean Studies at Seoul National University. Compared to 18 contemporary maps, Ganghwa Jido contains more detailed renderings of geographic landmarks, both natural and humanmade. Documentary evidence uncovered during the restoration process allowed the date of production to be revised to after 1883. Scientific examination of the original confirmed that the backing material is a cotton fabric. Six samples of fabric were considered for the reproduction, and the most similar to the original was selected. Experiments were performed for line and color creation, which were then compared with the original. Line drawing techniques such as pimajun and hocheojeom were used throughout the map. A scientific pigment analysis showed that organic pigments were used for the natural features, while inorganic pigments were used for the human-made features. Although currently mounted on a hanging scroll, Ganghwa Jido was originally folded and stored in the jeoppo style, and the reproduction follows that format. This study provides insights into the original production techniques of Ganghwa Jido and serves as an example of cultural heritage restoration with implications for research, preservation, and exhibition.
