EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captures the essence of a significant moment in history - the Ashanti war drums, standing proudly against a wall in 1874. The year prior, in 1873, tensions between the British and the Acing people of central Ghana reached a breaking point. The British launched an attack on the Asanti capital of Kumasi, leading to its near destruction.
On July 24th, 1874, Ghana was officially declared a crown colony by the British authorities. This marked a turning point in the relationship between these two cultures that had been uneasy for decades. The drums stand as silent witnesses to this pivotal moment in time.
The intricate details of these war drums speak volumes about their importance to the Ashanti people and their role in historical conflicts. Each beat would have carried with it centuries of tradition and pride.
As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the complexities of colonial history and how they continue to shape our world today. It serves as a poignant reminder of the impact that power struggles can have on communities and cultures.
