Framed Print of The Gold Coast and Ashantee War: a girl sacrificed to Ju-Ju, 1873. Creator: W Hollidge
The Gold Coast and Ashantee War: a girl sacrificed to Ju-Ju, 1873. Human sacrifices are still frequent in Western Africa, especially in the neighbourhood of the Bonny river. Ju-Ju is to the tribes somewhat south of Ashantee what fetish is to the natives of the Gold Coast. The victim, generally a girl, is selected from the best and comeliest - we cannot say fairest, though they have shades of colour among them. The unfortunate creature is tied to a stake at low water, if on the seashore for the sharks to eat, or if in the river for the crocodiles to devour. No modern Perseus has yet been heard of to rescue these dusky Andromedas of the nineteenth century'. From Illustrated London News, 1873.
