EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in the historical event known as The Ashantee War. The scene depicted is a momentous meeting at Accra, Ghana, where the Queen's letter is being read during a palaver of kings. The image showcases various elements that provide insight into this significant encounter. At the forefront stands an impressive umbrella tent belonging to the Special Commissioner and his staff, symbolizing authority and protection. Surrounding them are armed men forming a retinue, emphasizing their readiness for battle. Intriguingly, we see drums adorned with skulls fastened on each one, representing both power and intimidation within Ashanti culture. A table holds Queen Victoria's letter - a pivotal document shaping diplomatic relations during this conflict. Behind the commissioner stands a guard of 200 Houssas soldiers who serve as protectors and enforcers of order. Fort James looms in the background alongside a lighthouse, reminding us of colonial influence in Ghana at that time. This engraved image not only captures historical events but also showcases illustrative techniques prevalent in 19th-century artistry. Its retro style transports viewers to an era long gone while highlighting cultural aspects unique to Ashanti tradition. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Arkheia's historic collection (not for commercial use), it serves as a reminder of our rich past and encourages exploration into diverse cultures through art and history alike.
