The Fort at Kumasi,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating photograph by A.E. Huitt, transports us back in time to the early 1900s during the Anglo-Ashanti Wars in West Africa. This evocative image showcases the British army post, a formidable fortification that once stood as a symbol of imperial power in the heart of Kumasi, the capital city of the Ashanti Empire in present-day Ghana. The fort, with its imposing walls and towering bastions, exudes an air of strength and resilience, reflecting the strategic importance of this outpost during the colonial period. The British flag proudly flies high above the fort, asserting sovereignty over this foreign land. The exterior of the fort is adorned with intricate engravings, a testament to the architectural prowess of the British during the colonial era. This photograph is an essential piece of history, taken from "Cassell's History of England, Vol. IX," published by Cassell and Company, Limited, in London, Paris, New York, and Melbourne. It offers a glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the colonial era and the complex relationship between Britain and the Ashanti people. The Fort at Kumasi stands as a reminder of the intricate tapestry of history, where empires clashed, cultures collided, and the world was forever changed. This image, with its timeless beauty and historical significance, is a must-have for any collector of African history, art, or world history. In this print, we can almost hear the drums of war echoing in the distance, feel the heat of the African sun, and sense the tension that once filled the air as the Anglo-Ashanti Wars raged on. The Fort at Kumasi is not just a photograph; it is a window into the past, a reminder of the rich and complex history that shaped the world we live in today.
