EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Ashantee War, the Market-Place at Coomassie" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into the bustling market scene during the Third Anglo-Ashanti War. Intriguingly detailed and rich with cultural nuances, this artwork transports us to Coomassie (now Kumasi), Ghana. The vibrant market-place comes alive with street traders showcasing their wares and engaging in lively exchanges with customers. From colorful fabrics draped over stalls to baskets brimming with exotic fruits and vegetables, every corner of this image tells a story. Beyond its visual appeal, this engraving holds historical significance as it was originally published in The Illustrated London News on October 18th, 1873. It serves as a testament to how art can document pivotal moments in time and provide valuable insights into different cultures. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection, let us appreciate not only its artistic merit but also recognize the resilience of those who lived through the Ashantee War. This print invites us to explore Ghana's past while acknowledging the contributions of street traders who played an essential role in shaping local economies.
