EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Voyage to the Gold Coast, After-Deck of the Mail Steamer Volta" takes us back in time to the 19th century. This artwork, part of a private collection, was originally published in The Illustrated London News on December 27,1873. In this scene, we find ourselves aboard the after-deck of the majestic mail steamer Volta as it embarks on its journey to the Gold Coast. The atmosphere is one of leisure and relaxation as passengers enjoy their maritime adventure. A group gathers around a table adorned with an abundance of exotic fruits, prominently featuring bunches of bananas from Ghana's fertile lands. The ship itself stands tall against a backdrop of endless sea and sky. Its grandeur symbolizes both progress and exploration during an era when sea travel connected distant corners of the world. As we gaze at this enchanting print, our minds wander to far-off destinations like Côte d'Or 21 in Burgundy, France – known for its exquisite food and wine. This artwork not only captures a moment frozen in time but also evokes feelings of curiosity and wanderlust within us. It reminds us that even centuries later, there is still much beauty to be discovered through art that transcends borders and eras.
