EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene of Kumasi, the second largest city in Ghana, West Africa, during the 1910s. The Gold Coast, as Ghana was then known, was a major center for gold mining, and the railroad played a crucial role in transporting the precious metal and other resources to the coast for export. In the foreground of the image, we see part of the Kumasi railway station, with its distinctive red-roofed buildings and tall chimneys. Smoke billows from the trains, indicating their constant activity. Behind the station, a bridge arches over the railway tracks, while trucks and containers are lined up, ready to be loaded onto the trains. The photograph also reveals the diverse population of Kumasi, with people of various ethnicities and attire milling about the station and going about their daily business. The scene is a testament to the vibrant economic activity and cultural richness of the Gold Coast during this period. The railway system in Ghana was a key component of the colonial infrastructure, connecting the interior of the country to the coast and facilitating the extraction and export of natural resources. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history of Ghana and its people during a pivotal time in their history.
