EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolour print captures the essence of Korean Gama, a closed chair used by the privileged classes in the late 19th century. Similar to a Palanquin, Litter, or Sedan chair, this form of transport was carried by porters through the bustling streets of Korea. The intricate details of the Gama showcase not only its practicality as a mode of transportation but also its significance as a symbol of power and status. The ornate design and traditional dress worn by those being transported in the chair speak to the luxurious lifestyle enjoyed by the elite during this time period. The manual labor required to carry such chairs highlights the stark contrast between social classes in Korean society at that time. While some were able to relax comfortably within their Gama, others labored tirelessly to ensure their smooth journey through town. This piece of art serves as a window into history, offering us a glimpse into the fashion, traditions, and customs of Korean culture in c1890. It is a reminder of how transport has evolved over time and how different forms of power have been displayed throughout various societies around the world.
