Image description

In Korea, royalty, nobility and high officials were carried in wooden litters called gamas. There were six types of gama, each assigned to different government official rankings; because of the difficulties posed by the mountainous terrain of the Korean peninsula and the lack of paved roads, gamas were preferred over wheeled vehicles; lithograph from a photograph taken by Charles Chaillé-Long (United States Consul General in Seoul from 1887 to 1889) and reproduced in the London Illustrated News, September 1, 1894
