Original caption	Ornocku Ata [Quaccoe Attah]. König von Cape Coast.
Description	Note: Signatur: "A. La Riviere; Litho'r. 18, Clifton St." - Veröffentlicht (West 1857: 216) und (Evangelisches Missions-Magazin 1859). - Dazugehöriger Text: "Das Titelbild dieses Heftes stellt den eingeborenen König von Cap Coast, Quaccoe Attah, dar, wie er von Prediger Daniel West photographirt wurde. Seine schwarze Majestät sitzt auf einem stattlichen Thronsessel; auf der Stirne trägt er goldgestickte Verzierungen, mit Bändern befestigt, die ohne Zweifel das Diadem vorstellen sollen. Das rechte Handgelenk ist mit einer Reihe massiver Goldspangen, der kleine Finger mit einem Briliiantring, das linke Armgelenk mit goldgestickter Manschette geschmückt. Auch um den Nacken hängt eine schwere goldene Kette. In der Rechten hält er den Elephantenschwanz, als Fliegenwedel, in der Linken eine Art Scepter. Ein reiches seidenes Gewand, in anmuthige Falten geworfen, liegt über dem untern Theil des Körpers."; Note translation: Signature: "A. La Riviere; Litho'r. 18, Clifton St." - Published (West 1857: 216) and (Evangelisches Missions-Magazin 1859). - Caption in the latter: "The titelbild of this number shows the native King of Cape Coast, Quacoe Atta, as he was photographed by the preacher Daniel West. His african majesty sits on a stately throne. On his forehead you can see decorations with golden embroidery, doubtless intended to give the impression of a crown. His right wrist is decorated with a number of heavy gold bracelets, he has a diamond ring on his little finger, on his left wrist he has a cuff with gold embroidery. A heavy gold chain hangs around his neck. In his right hand he holds an elephant tail as fly-switch. In his left hand he has a kind of sceptre. A rich silk cloth lies, in comely folds, over the lower part of his body."
