This evocative illustration by renowned Italian artist Fortunino Matania captures the essence of this encounter between the Western world and the Gold Coast region of Africa. In the heart of the Gold Coast pavilion, a fair-haired Western woman, dressed in modern attire and holding a camera, engages in a friendly conversation with two Gold Coast women.
