EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "The Ashanti Expedition, Akroful, the Second Halting Station on the March from Cape Coast Castle" takes us back in time to a significant moment in history. Created by William Barnes Wollen after his visit to Ghana in 1896, this print offers a glimpse into the tribal culture and military presence during the Ashanti Expedition. The scene depicts Akroful, a bustling street filled with activity as soldiers march through its dusty roads. The viewer is transported to this vibrant location where Cape Coast Castle served as a starting point for their journey. The engraving showcases intricate details of traditional attire worn by both locals and expedition members alike. Wollen's skillful rendering captures not only the physical surroundings but also conveys a sense of anticipation and purpose among those present. This image serves as an important historical document that sheds light on colonial expeditions undertaken during this era. Preserved within private collections until now, this lithograph provides an invaluable window into Ghana's past while highlighting Wollen's talent for capturing authentic street scenes. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of the rich tapestry of cultures that have shaped our world and how art can transport us across time and space.
