EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the regal and formidable presence of the Captain of the Ashanti army, as depicted in Thomas Bowdich's account of his travels to the Kingdom of Ashanti in 1817. The Captain is adorned in an impressive war dress, a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Ashanti people of Ghana. The intricately designed headdress, crafted from a multitude of vibrant feathers and animal tails, dominates the scene, signifying the Captain's high rank and warrior status. The Captain's chest is bedecked with medals and insignia, further emphasizing his achievements and authority. In one hand, he holds a spear, a symbol of power and readiness for battle, while in the other, he clutches a shield. The meticulously hand-coloured copperplate engraving, created by Antonio Sasso for Giulio Ferrario's "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World," beautifully captures the grandeur and detail of the Captain's attire. This striking illustration offers a glimpse into the past, providing a visual representation of the proud and powerful Ashanti warrior culture.
