EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolour print from 1890 captures the essence of Korean nobility and power in a traditional form of transportation. A nobleman or government official is carried in a litter by four porters, each with straps over their shoulders, showcasing the manual labor required for such a prestigious mode of travel. Two personal attendants hold the chair with care and reverence, highlighting the importance and status of the individual being transported. The intricate details of the nobleman's attire reflect the fashion trends of the time, showcasing traditional Korean dress in all its glory. The rich colors and patterns add to the opulence and grandeur of this scene, transporting us back to a time when style was just as important as substance. This image not only captures a moment in history but also serves as a reminder of the power dynamics at play within Korean society during this period. The contrast between those who are carried and those who do the carrying speaks volumes about class distinctions and societal norms. Overall, this watercolour print is not just a work of art but a window into another world where tradition, fashion, power, and transport intersect in perfect harmony.
