EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut takes us back to the 1870s in Ashanti Colony, Africa. The image captures a moment of recreation and tradition as native soldiers engage in a game of "warry". Dressed in their striking uniforms, these soldiers embody the spirit of African military history. The scene unfolds within a vibrant village setting, where laughter and excitement fill the air. Amidst the backdrop of colonialism and imperialism, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the resilience and strength of West African culture. As we delve deeper into this illustration, it becomes evident that warry is more than just a game; it represents camaraderie among soldiers who have been tasked with protecting their land from colonists. Their rifles stand proudly by their side, symbolizing both defense and resistance against British forces during this era. The presence of English colonists is subtly hinted at through references to the British Empire. However, what truly shines through is the rich heritage and history embedded within Ghana's Gold Coast region. This vintage print serves as an important reminder that even amidst colonization, traditional practices endured. It invites us to reflect on how communities found solace in recreational activities while navigating complex power dynamics. With its meticulous details and historical significance, this artwork transports us back to an era when Ashanti Colony was at once fighting for independence while preserving its cultural identity.
