The Gold Coast, Grand Palaver at Jellah Coffee between the Administrator and Native Kings and Chiefs
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving from the 19th century depicts a momentous gathering in the heart of The Gold Coast. In this historic scene, we witness an extraordinary meeting between the acting administrator and several native kings and chiefs. The image showcases a vibrant display of ceremonial attire, with each royal figure exuding power and authority. Among them are notable figures such as Solomon, King of Jellah Coffee; the King of James Town; and the King of Awoonah. Lieutenant E. N. Rolfe stands proudly alongside these esteemed leaders, representing the Royal Navy. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as discussions unfold amidst a backdrop of tribal symbols and traditional architecture. The presence of key individuals like Chief Ashantee Ambassador adds to the significance of this grand palaver. Notably, this engraving captures moments that would shape history – from diplomatic negotiations to cultural exchanges. It serves as a testament to both colonial influence on The Gold Coast and its rich indigenous heritage. With intricate details meticulously etched into every corner, this print transports us back in time to witness an important chapter in Ghana's past. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork by English School artists, we are reminded of how art can preserve historical narratives for generations to come.
