The image takes us back to 1873 when this illustrative technique was widely used. The Victorian era ambiance is palpable as we witness an intriguing scene unfold. In this print, we see Attah, the powerful King of Akim in Ghana's capital city of Accra. He sits with regal poise while reading a letter from Queen Victoria herself. This palaver of kings holds immense cultural significance and signifies a pivotal point during the Ashantee War. The attention to detail in this nineteenth-century engraving is remarkable; every line etched with precision brings life to each character portrayed. The presence of a Gordon Setter dog adds an interesting touch and perhaps symbolizes loyalty or protection within Ashanti culture.
