EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts the quaint and tranquil town of Sutah, located on the Gold Coast of present-day Ghana, in the year 1874. The image offers a glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of a town that played a pivotal role in the historical events of the Second Ashanti War (1873-74). At the time of this photograph, Sutah was one of the many towns that fell under British control during their expedition to defeat the powerful King of Ashanti. Tensions between the British and the Acing people of central Ghana had been simmering for decades, and in 1873, the British launched a full-scale attack on the Asanti capital of Kumasi. The destruction of Kumasi marked the official declaration of Ghana as a British crown colony on July 24, 1874. Despite the tumultuous relationship between the British and the Asanti people, this photograph portrays a serene and picturesque scene. The town of Sutah, with its palm trees, thatched-roof buildings, and bustling marketplace, stands as a testament to the resilience and vitality of the people who called it home. The image offers a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that continues to thrive in Ghana today. This photograph, from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, is a valuable historical document that provides a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in the history of Ghana and the British Empire. It is a reminder of the complex and often tumultuous relationship between different cultures and powers, and the enduring strength and adaptability of communities in the face of change.
