EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Ashantee War, Arrival of the Governor at Cape Coast Castle: the Delighted Fantees" offers a glimpse into a significant moment in history. The image showcases various aspects of this eventful occasion, capturing both the beauty and fashion of the time. In the foreground, we see a group of elated Fantees, their expressions filled with joy as they welcome the arrival of the Governor. Their vibrant attire reflects their rich cultural heritage and adds to the overall visual appeal of the scene. In contrast, behind them stands an impressive Tom-Tom Band, ready to provide rhythmic accompaniment to this grand event. The focal point is undoubtedly on the Governor himself, who has just landed through treacherous surf with assistance from friendly natives. Accompanied by his Colonial Secretary and surrounded by a Guard of Honour from 2nd West India Regiment, he exudes authority and determination. As our eyes wander towards the background, we catch glimpses of other elements that make up this historic moment - rank and fashion mingling together amidst an excited mob. This engraving not only serves as a testament to Anglo-Ashanti conflict but also provides valuable insights into Victorian arts and culture during that era. With its retro-styled aesthetic reminiscent of 19th-century engravings, this vintage print from Liszt Collection transports us back in time while preserving an important piece of history for generations to come.
