Framed Print of The Ashantee War: Naval Brigade men breakfasting in the courtyard of an Ashantee house, 1874. Creator: Unknown
The Ashantee War: Naval Brigade men breakfasting in the courtyard of an Ashantee house, 1874. Third Anglo-Ashanti War. The Royal Navy in West Africa. Our Artist's sketch of men of the Naval Brigade enjoying their breakfast in the court of an Ashantee house was taken at Quisah. He describes the house as consisting of four rooms, or huts, built on the four sides of the court, which is entered by a very narrow doorway and passage at one corner. The timber beams and hard earthen walls, which are plastered, display much ornamental sculpture of an ingenious pattern. The floors are of burnt clay, hard and smooth, and painted red; they are raised 2 ft. above the ground. The several rooms are usually the bedrooms of a native family; the one farthest from the open doorway is allotted to the girls or unmarried women. A tree is often planted in the court of a house, and various articles of fetish, by way of a charm or a sacrifice, are hung upon its branches. It is customary to bury gold-dust and jewels, or other valuables, at the foot of this tree, where the native robber will fear to dig them up'. From Illustrated London News, 1874.
