EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "before and after" views of Kumasi, Ghana during its time as a British protectorate in the 1890s. The image provides a glimpse into how the British envisioned the Ashanti people's lives under English occupation. Hand-colored to bring out every detail, this halftone reproduction of a 19th-century illustration transports us back in time. In the "before" view, we witness a traditional African village scene with thatched-roof huts scattered across rural landscapes. Native men, women, and children go about their daily lives dressed in vibrant clothing while street cars traverse unpaved roads. The simplicity and charm of this historic dwelling are evident as families find shelter amidst lush surroundings. Contrasting sharply with this idyllic setting is the "after" view depicting an urbanized Kumasi under British influence. Industrialization has taken hold as billboards advertising products like Bovril dot the streetscape. Remington typewriters symbolize progress and modernity while hinting at colonial aspirations for civilization. Amidst these changes brought by colonization, it is essential to reflect on both positive advancements and potential challenges faced by local communities during this period of transition. This photograph offers valuable insights into West Africa's history within the context of British imperialism while reminding us of the complex dynamics between colonizer and colonized.
