Guggisberg stated: 'From Coomassie running up the long red motor-road we plunge into real native customs in the pictures painted at Mampong.

The weavers, the potters and the metal workers are all wonderfully true in the way they convey the reality of things as they are' (Guggisberg, Gold Coast News, no. 25).
