EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting landscapes of Kumasi, Ashanti in the late 19th century. The image showcases a village nestled amidst the lush rainforests of West Africa's Gold Coast. It serves as a powerful reminder of Ghana's rich history and its journey towards independence. In 1957, Ghana became the first sub-Saharan country in colonial Africa to break free from foreign rule, shedding its former name - the Gold Coast - and embracing a new identity. This print captures a moment frozen in time, offering us a glimpse into rural life during this transformative period. The intricate engraving by Robert Brown transports us to an era when nature reigned supreme. A towering tree stands tall at the center, symbolizing strength and resilience. Surrounding it are humble dwellings that blend harmoniously with their natural surroundings. The monochrome palette adds depth and texture to this rustic scene, evoking nostalgia for simpler times. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost hear the gentle rustling of leaves and feel the serenity that envelops Kumasi. Through this image, we are reminded of Africa's immense beauty and cultural heritage. It invites us to reflect on our connection with nature and appreciate how far Ghana has come since those days captured by Robert Brown over a century ago.
