EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, titled "The Ashanti Expedition" offers a fascinating window into an important moment in history. Created by Charles Auguste Loye in 1896, it depicts a scene from the renowned Illustrated London News publication. The image showcases the bustling headquarters of the Ashanti tribe during their expedition in Ghana.

The composition features a vibrant fruit bowl brimming with exotic fruits like brafu edru, ejinassi, esiamar kuma, and kwisa - showcasing both local delicacies and scientific interest in botany.

By emphasizing food supply as a crucial aspect of any expedition or community, Loye reminds us of our dependence on nature's abundance.
