Description
English: This engraving illustrates Fante thatched-roof housing outside the notorious slave fort at Cape Coast in the Voltaic region. Allen wrote that with "the exception of a few English houses, the town consists of straggling lines of mud-huts, to which little clusters of palm trees. . . add a look of coolness, even under the burning sun of that coast" (p. 135). William Allen (1792–1864) was an English naval officer and explorer. Thomas Richard Heywood Thomson (1813–1876) was an English explorer and naturalist. They took part in the Niger expedition to map the course of the river. In Cape Coast, Allen and Thomson interacted with the Fante king, Joseph Aggrey Essien (1809–1869).
