EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor print from c1890 showcases a Korean Gama, a luxurious closed chair exclusively utilized by the privileged classes. Reminiscent of a Palanquin, Litter or Sedan chair, this elegant mode of transport was carried by diligent porters. The artist skillfully captures the essence of power and tradition in this exquisite piece. The Gama exudes an air of opulence and sophistication, serving as both a symbol of status and an embodiment of traditional Korean fashion. Its intricate design reflects the meticulous craftsmanship that went into creating such a masterpiece. Adorned with ornate details and vibrant colors, it is truly a sight to behold. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back in time to an era when manual transportation was not only functional but also served as an expression of one's social standing. The presence of porters carrying the Gama further emphasizes the stark divide between different societal classes during that period. This watercolor print serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage found within Korea's history. It encapsulates not only the beauty and elegance associated with traditional dress but also sheds light on how power dynamics were manifested through modes of transportation like the Korean Gama.
