The Trouble in Ashanti, Scenes on the Gold Coast
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph print by Joseph Nash that takes us back to the late 19th century. This artwork, part of a private collection, was originally created as an illustration for The Graphic newspaper on November 9,1895. The scene depicted in the print showcases the entrance and headquarters of a military outpost on the Gold Coast. Men can be seen gathered on the parade ground while others observe from various vantage points. A landing stage stretches out into the sea, connecting this frontier station with Cape Coast Castle and other nearby locations. The artist's attention to detail allows us to immerse ourselves in this historical moment. From officers' quarters to a lighthouse overlooking the town of Elmina, every element has been meticulously captured. The bridge spanning over a river adds depth and perspective to the composition. Nash's use of colors, particularly shades of burgundy and earth tones, evokes a sense of warmth and richness throughout his work. His skillful engraving technique brings life to each figure and architectural feature present in this bustling coastal setting. This lithograph not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also provides valuable insights into colonial history. It transports viewers back in time to witness firsthand "The Trouble in Ashanti" offering glimpses into daily life during that era along Ghana's Gold Coast.
