EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "European settlements on the Gold Coast in the seventeenth century" takes us back to a significant period in history. Created by an English School artist in the 20th century, this print showcases the European presence along Africa's Gold Coast during the seventeenth century. The image depicts a fascinating blend of architectural styles from different European nations. We can see castles and dwellings reminiscent of Germany, France, Great Britain, and the Netherlands scattered across the landscape. These settlements were established as trading posts and centers of colonial power. Notable landmarks include Cape Coast Castle, Elmina settlement (formerly Portuguese), Frederiksborg Castle (Danish), St Anthony Fort (Axim), Anomabo Fort (British), among others. Each structure represents a unique chapter in European colonization history. The lithograph provides insight into how these diverse cultures coexisted within close proximity while pursuing their individual interests on African soil. It also serves as a reminder of the complex dynamics that shaped global trade routes during this era. This print was originally created for an edition of Harmsworth History of the World around 1910 and is now part of a private collection. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate its historical significance and marvel at how it captures Europe's impact on West Africa centuries ago.
