EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts the exterior of the King's Bedroom in Kumasi, the capital city of the Kingdom of Ashanti in present-day Ghana. Dating back to the early 19th century, this illustration was created by the renowned Italian artist, Antonio Sasso, as part of Giulio Ferrario's comprehensive work, "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World." The image reveals a serene and lush courtyard, adorned with vibrant flowers and lush greenery, leading up to the grand entrance of the King's Bedroom. The architecture showcases the rich cultural heritage of the Ashanti people, with intricate carvings and ornate details that reflect their deep connection to nature and their reverence for their monarch. The Ashanti Kingdom, renowned for its wealth and power, was a major political and economic force in West Africa during the 19th century. The King, or Asantehene, was considered the embodiment of the gods and held supreme authority over his people. His residence, which included the Bedroom, was a symbol of his power and prestige. This exquisite engraving offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the Ashanti monarchy, providing a fascinating insight into the history and culture of this remarkable civilization. The intricate details and rich colours bring the scene to life, transporting us back in time to a world of splendour and tradition.
