EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a significant moment in history as a chief is presented to the Prince of Wales in Gold Coast, Africa in 1925. The image showcases the impact of colonialism and the British Empire on the region during this time period.
The solemn expression on the faces of both the chief and the Prince of Wales speaks volumes about the complex dynamics at play during this encounter. The leader is adorned in traditional attire, representing his people and their culture, while being introduced to a representative of European monarchy.

As we reflect on this historical moment captured by an English photographer, it prompts us to consider how such interactions shaped not only individual lives but also entire populations. It invites us to delve deeper into understanding the complexities of imperialism and its lasting effects on societies around the world.
