This handcoloured copperplate engraving captures a scene from the District of Adum in the town of Kumasi, Kingdom of Ashanti (Ghana) during the early 19th century. In this bustling marketplace, a woman can be seen selling goods while simultaneously weaving fabric on a loom and tending to her stall. The intricate details in this artwork by Antonio Sasso from Giulio Ferrario's Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World, 1843, provide a glimpse into daily life in this vibrant African community.
The image showcases not only the industrious nature of the people but also their rich cultural heritage. From traditional clothing to architectural elements in the background, every aspect of this engraving speaks volumes about the civilization and traditions prevalent in Central Africa at that time.

Overall, this print is not just an artistic representation but also a historical document that sheds light on an era long gone but still deeply cherished.
