EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Example of an Enclosed Palanquin" takes us back to the 19th century in Korea. The image showcases a magnificent enclosed palanquin being carried by bearers, with women and men dressed in traditional attire surrounding it. This luxurious mode of transport was reserved for nobles and upper-class individuals who sought both comfort and prestige during their travels. The attention to detail in this print is exquisite, capturing the intricate design of the palanquin itself. Its ornate decorations reflect the wealth and status of those fortunate enough to be transported within its confines. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we are reminded of a time when such lavishness was not only admired but expected among Korean nobility. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this engraving offers us a glimpse into the lifestyle and social structure prevalent at that time. It highlights the stark contrast between the privileged few who enjoyed these luxuries and the servants diligently carrying out their duties. As we admire this piece from The Stapleton Collection, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also its ability to transport us back in time. Through this image, we can explore Korean culture while contemplating themes of wealth, tradition, travel, and class distinction – all encapsulated within one remarkable work of art.
