1872년 강원도지도의 회화적 표현 방식 - 「양양읍지도」를 중심으로

Abstract

Prior to research on provincial maps complied by government in 1872, this paper aims to look into methods of making the maps and regional characteristics reflecting on them. Firstly, detailed research on the type of mounting(粧?) of Gangwon province maps in 1872 and methods for making those maps was carried out. There is much attention towards the unique expressional methods of Gangwon province maps in 1872 with Picturesque Quality. More than half of Gangwon province’s landscape is comprised of steep mountains and such geographical feature is well reflected in Gangwon province maps. Many unique expressions such as exceptionally sharp mountain peaks and continuous sketch of the mountains are shown in the maps. Yangyang-eupjido(襄陽邑地圖) is a landscape painting with the use of Picturesque expression and shows the regional characteristics by vivid description of the mountains and rocks. Picturesque expression is an appropriate way to convey not only regional figures but also the vitality of the land. It is also confirmed that provincial maps complied by government in 1872 were mount differently compared to the earlier a collection of provincial map. Each collection of provincial map is in separate folding books(帖). Dimension of the cover is standardized to 35 x 25㎝ and it becomes a map book when each folding books of provincial map is gathered. It seems that such the type of mounting is chosen in order to look for province within the whole country and then to look for counties and prefectures in detail. As a government-compiled map, Gangwon province maps in 1872 have different characteristics such as the type of mounting and making method, compared to earlier provincial map. The comparison study on characteristics of each provincial map is needed to infer the cartographer, participants for the maps and their use.
