EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in history - the Reception for the English Ambassador held by the Ashanti at Comassi, Ghana, around 1818. Engraved by A. Biasioli and colored with lithography techniques, this artwork showcases the talent of an unknown European artist from the 19th century. The image transports us to a vibrant scene filled with energy and cultural exchange. The African crowd gathers eagerly, adorned in traditional attire representing their tribe. Flags flutter proudly in the air as parasols provide respite from the sun's rays. At the center of attention stands a distinguished figure believed to be Thomas Edward Bowdich or Bowditch, governor of the British Gold Coast Settlements during that time period. As he addresses his audience, it is evident that this gathering signifies an important diplomatic occasion between England and Ashanti. This photograph offers valuable insights into Africa's colonial past and its complex relationship with Europe. It symbolizes both colonization and delegation as well as showcasing Kumasi – one of Ghana's most significant cities. Preserved within Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this historical artifact continues to captivate viewers even today. Its display serves as a reminder of our shared global heritage while also shedding light on lesser-known aspects of African history.
