EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of "The Germans in Africa, Views of the New Settlements on the Cameroons". The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases a moment frozen in time. The image takes us to a landing surrounded by lush greenery and reveals a ruined house standing as a testament to history. As we explore further into this visual narrative, our eyes are drawn to various scenes unfolding before us. We witness locals playing tom-toms and engaging with their daily lives in Hickory Town. The topography of the upper part of Cameroons is beautifully depicted, showcasing its natural beauty and diverse landscapes. Amidst it all, we catch glimpses of German settlers driving progress forward while interacting with Chief Lockpreeso and other natives. These new settlements established by Germany symbolize their presence and ambition on African soil. Aquah Town and King Bells Town stand out prominently among these settlements, representing Germany's influence spreading across Africa during that era. This engraving not only offers insight into historical events but also serves as a reminder of how different cultures intersected at that time. It provides us with an opportunity to reflect upon European expansionism within Africa while appreciating the rich tapestry of life captured within this single image.
