This study analyzes the relics of costumes worn by missionaries in the early 1900s, which Hannam University’s Central Museum currently owns. The study examines the formative characteristics and historical significance of these clothing artifacts. The donated relics, consisting of 14 items, including children’s clothing, women’s clothing, Taraebeoseon, Jobawi, and Jumeoni, were contributed by John N. Somerville. The majority of the Korean costume collection was owned by missionary William D. Reynolds and his wife Patsy B. Reynolds. It is believed that their second daughter, Ella T. Reynolds, wore the clothes. The artifacts in the collection are described as well-made, crafted from high-quality cloth, and displaying significant artistic merit. Notably, the Jeogori worn by the girl was made of colorful cloth and featured embroidery on the finished clothes. Additionally, Hanbok miniatures were created, resembling children’s dolls made of fabric, with finely embroidered small clothes and multiple layers of underwear to mimic miniature human clothes. Interestingly, the costumes bear the autograph of Ella T. Reynolds on their linings. This autograph could potentially serve as evidence that the missionary Reynolds wore these costumes during that period. These relics hold great value in shedding light on the experiences of foreign missionaries residing in Joseon during the Open Port Period, as they showcase the missionaries wearing Hanbok. However, it is regrettable that the relics remain separated, making it challenging to determine the complete composition of the ensembles, and some props’ purpose still needs to be discovered. As of June 10, 2023, John Somerville, who donated the relics to the museum, passed away at the age of 95. Consequently, his family is discussing how to organize his relics. If any clothing artifacts from the early 20th century have yet to be disclosed, they are expected to serve as opportunities for further research.
此次研究对汉南大学中央博物馆收藏的20世纪初传教士服装遗物进行了分析。本研究考察了这些服装制品的形成特征和历史意义。此次捐赠的文物包括童装、女装、Taraebeoseon、jowaawi、Jumeoni等14件，是约翰·萨默维尔(John N. Somerville)捐赠的。大部分韩国服装收藏由传教士威廉·d·雷诺兹和他的妻子帕齐·b·雷诺兹所有。据信，他们的第二个女儿艾拉·t·雷诺兹(Ella T. Reynolds)穿过这些衣服。收藏中的文物被描述为制作精良，由高质量的布料制作而成，并显示出显着的艺术价值。尤其值得一提的是，少女穿的积衣是用彩色布料制成的，并在衣服上绣上了刺绣。此外，还制作了用织物制成的儿童玩偶形状的韩服微型模型，上面绣有精美的小衣服和多层内衣，模仿微型人类的衣服。有趣的是，这些服装的衬里上有艾拉·t·雷诺兹的签名。这个签名可能是传教士雷诺兹在那个时期穿着这些服装的证据。这些遗物展示了传教士们穿着韩服的情景，对了解开放口岸时期在朝鲜居住的外国传教士的经历具有很大的价值。然而，令人遗憾的是，文物仍然是分开的，很难确定整体的组成，一些道具的用途仍然需要发现。截至2023年6月10日，向博物馆捐赠文物的约翰·萨默维尔去世，享年95岁。因此，他的家人正在讨论如何整理他的遗物。如果20世纪初的服装文物尚未公开，预计将成为进一步研究的机会。
