EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Insignia of the African Company, a symbol that represents an important chapter in history. Incorporated in London in 1588, this emblem embodies various themes such as business, imperialism, trade, and colonialism. The hand-colored woodcut reproduction beautifully captures the essence of a 16th-century illustration. The image features an elephant at its center, representing strength and power. This majestic creature serves as a reminder of Africa's rich heritage and traditional roots. Surrounding the elephant are intricate details that reflect native artistry from that era. The insignia holds significant historical value as it signifies the establishment of commerce between England and Africa during this period. It represents a time when merchant companies sought to expand their influence across continents through international trade. As we delve into British history, we uncover how this company played a crucial role in shaping the British Empire's expansion during the 1500s. The African Company became instrumental in establishing colonies throughout Africa while fostering cultural exchange between English settlers and African natives.
