EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving by Antonio Sasso captures the exterior of bedrooms in houses in Kumasi, Kingdom of Ashanti (Ghana) during the early 19th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life the traditional architecture and cultural heritage of this African civilization.
The image is part of Giulio Ferrario's Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World, a collection that showcases the diversity and beauty of different cultures around the globe. In this particular print, we see a glimpse into daily life in Kumasi, with unique buildings and structures that reflect the rich history and traditions of the Ashanti people.
The composition highlights not only the physical aspects of these bedrooms but also hints at the sense of community and connection within these homes. The meticulous craftsmanship displayed in this engraving serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical accuracy.
As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported back in time to a period when craftsmanship was revered, traditions were cherished, and homes were more than just shelter - they were symbols of identity and belonging. This print is a reminder of our shared humanity and serves as a window into a world that continues to inspire awe and admiration centuries later.
