EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Advertisement, Kumasi after Ashanti War" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases an illustration originally published in The Illustrated London News on March 28,1896. The image transports us to Kumasi, a city deeply affected by the Ashanti War. It serves as a powerful reminder of the aftermath and resilience of its people. Amidst the ruins and destruction caused by conflict, this advertisement offers hope for rebuilding and progress. Prominently featured are various products such as Mellins Food, Bovril, Colmans Azure Blue - all symbols of recovery and revitalization. These brands played their part in supporting post-war efforts while simultaneously promoting their own goods. The detailed engraving captures not only the essence of advertising but also reflects upon the role it plays during times of adversity. This visual representation speaks volumes about how businesses adapt and contribute to society's healing process. Preserved within a private collection and now made accessible through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this historic print allows viewers to delve into both artistry and historical context. It invites contemplation on how advertising can transcend mere commercial purposes when intertwined with moments that shape our collective memory. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Look And Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection let us reflect on its significance beyond commerce; reminding ourselves that even amidst turmoil there is always room for growth and renewal.
