EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a handcoloured copperplate engraving of a traditional house in Kumasi, the capital city of the historic Kingdom of Ashanti in Ghana, West Africa. Dating back to the early 19th century, this architectural masterpiece is depicted in Giulio Ferrario's renowned work, "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World," published in Florence, Italy, in 1843. The engraving was created by the skilled hand of Antonio Sasso. The Ashanti Kingdom, renowned for its rich cultural heritage and powerful monarchy, was a significant political force in the region during this period. The houses of the Ashanti people, including this one, were a reflection of their prosperity and social status. The structure showcased in the engraving exhibits the unique architectural style of the Ashanti people, characterized by its tall, wooden walls, thatched roofs, and intricate carvings. Thomas Bowdich, a British traveller, was the primary source of information for this illustration. Bowdich visited the Ashanti Kingdom in 1817 and documented his experiences in detail. His account provided Ferrario with the essential information to create this accurate and intriguing representation of Ashanti architecture. This engraving is an invaluable historical record of the architectural and cultural traditions of the Ashanti people during a time when European influence was beginning to shape the region. It serves as a testament to the rich and complex history of Ghana and the Ashanti Kingdom, which continues to captivate and inspire scholars, artists, and travellers alike.
