English Castle at Anamabou
This print by a Dutch engraver is entitled 'The English castle at Anamabou'. Anomabo is a town on the coast of Ghana in West Africa and the castle was built in around 1674. Africans captured and brought people from the interior of the country to coastal locations such as Anomabo. Here, European traders, including the Dutch and the English, bought these captured people. They imprisoned them in fortresses like this one before shipping them thousands of miles to the Americas to work as slaves.
