Cape Coast, located in Ghana, Africa, is a place steeped in history and culture. One of its most prominent landmarks is the Cape Coast Castle, an old English slave castle that stands as a haunting reminder of the transatlantic slave trade. In a double portrait from the 1880s captured on an albumen print, we catch a glimpse of life during that era. Moving along the coast to Elmina and its surroundings, traditional fishing boats dot the sandy beaches. The vibrant colors and bustling activity showcase the livelihoods of local fishermen who rely on these waters for sustenance. Back in Cape Coast itself, we find The Shrine of Asafo Company no. 2 - a sacred place where rituals are performed by this esteemed company. This shrine holds great significance within the community and serves as a testament to their deep-rooted traditions. King Aggris House at Cape Coast Castle takes us back to 1848 through an engraving. This grand structure once housed royalty but now stands as another reminder of colonial rule and its impact on African nations. A bird's-eye view lithograph dated January 20th, 1896 gives us insight into Kumassi - showcasing its layout from above. It transports us to another time when technology allowed such detailed perspectives to be captured. The Ashanti Expedition comes alive through various lithographs and photographs depicting soldiers disembarking at Cape Coast or marching towards Kumassi. These images offer glimpses into military campaigns that shaped history while highlighting both bravery and conflict. Lastly, engravings titled "Last Notes from the Ashantee War" provide further evidence of historical events unfolding in this region during tumultuous times. From Cape Coast to Kumassi – whether it be black-and-white photos or colorful lithographs – each piece captures moments frozen in time; pieces that tell stories waiting patiently for curious eyes willing to explore this captivating part of Africa's past.
