EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a Captain of the Achantis (Ashanti or Asante) from Ghana, as depicted in "The old and modern costume" by Giulio Ferrario. The image, dating back to 1819-20, showcases the rich cultural heritage and traditional attire of this African civilization. The Captain stands tall and proud, adorned in an elaborate ensemble that reflects his status and authority. His regal headdress features intricate patterns and feathers, symbolizing power and prestige. The vibrant fabrics draped around his body showcase the skilled craftsmanship of Ashanti artisans. Intriguingly, this photograph offers a glimpse into both the old and modern aspects of Ashanti culture. While rooted in tradition, it also hints at evolving influences from outside civilizations during that time period. The composition exudes a sense of energy and movement as if capturing a moment during a lively dance performance. It serves as a reminder of the importance placed on music, dance, and celebration within African communities. Leonard de Selva's expert photography brings out every detail with precision while preserving the authenticity of this historical representation. Through this image, we are transported to Central Africa centuries ago – where human connection thrived amidst diverse populations. As we admire this remarkable piece from Leonard de Selva's private collection today, let us appreciate its significance in celebrating Africa's rich cultural tapestry while acknowledging its rightful place within our shared global heritage.
