Title: Korean women on an outing
Date: ca. 1904
Place: Asia: South Korea
Type: Postcards/Ephemera
Description: Two Korean women in traditional attire. The cloak is called essugae chimae or 'changot', which is a coat-style veil. Originally, the 'changot' was everyday wear for both kings and commoners. Since the time of King 'Sejo' (1417-1468), however, women began to wear the robe, and it then evolved as a veil for women. The inner and outer collars were symmetrical in shape, while the neckline and sleeve-ends were trimmed with a wide, white bias. The collar, ties and armpits were purple. This is a (hand-colored) photograph taken in a studio setting, produced for mass production. Source: Kwon, O-chang. Inmurhwaro ponun Choson sidae uri ot, 1998, p. 124.
