EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exterior part of the king's bedroom in the Land of the Achantis (Ashanti or Asante), Ghana. The image is taken from "The old and modern costume" by Ferrario, published in Milan between 1819-20. It belongs to a private collection and is copyrighted by Leonard de Selva. The photograph transports us to a time when African architecture and culture were at their peak. The grandeur of the palace building is evident, with its intricate design and attention to detail. The viewer can almost imagine themselves walking through those majestic doors into a world filled with history and tradition. In this particular scene, we see an intriguing game being played outside the king's bedroom. Known as Awale, it was a popular parlour game among Africans during that era. A player can be seen engrossed in the game, focused on making strategic moves with small balls or seeds placed on carved holes within a wooden board. This image not only captures architectural beauty but also provides insight into daily life during that period in Africa. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites us to appreciate both ancient traditions and contemporary art forms. Leonard de Selva has done an exceptional job preserving this historical moment through his lens, allowing us to experience it even centuries later.
