This 19th-century engraving titled "View of Coomassie, the Capital of Ashanti" takes us back in time to the grandeur and splendor of the Ashanti Empire. This pre-colonial West African state, located in what is now Ghana, was renowned for its rich history and cultural heritage. The detailed illustration showcases the architectural marvels that adorned Coomassie, once considered the heart of this powerful empire. The artist's illustrative technique beautifully captures the essence of this vibrant city, with its bustling streets and majestic buildings. As we gaze upon this vintage print, we are transported to an era when Victorian arts and culture flourished. The retro-styled engravement evokes a sense of nostalgia while also serving as a testament to the artistic prowess prevalent during that period. This historic artwork from Liszt Collection offers us a glimpse into a bygone era, allowing us to appreciate both the intricate details and historical significance it holds. It serves as a reminder of Africa's rich past before colonial influences shaped its destiny.
