Amidst the turbulent backdrop of The Ashantee War, armed men gathered in solemn assembly at the Palaver of Kings in Accra, their raised swords a testament to their unyielding resolve. In a different era, these gentlemen, adorned with turbans and standing proudly in a room, were depicted in an engraving by Eckartshausen. Through the ages, the image has graced various artworks, from the intense battle between two warriors in 1667, to the chilling account of the Murder of the Templars at Zierikzee in 1312, and even the abduction of a Roman bride in 1681. The sea chart of the coast of Congo and Angola, created by Jan Luyken and Johannes van Keulen, illustrates the vast expanse of lands and waters traversed by these formidable figures throughout history.
