Koforidua Station, Gold Coast [i.e. Ghana], 1924
Scope and Contents
The caption on the reverse reads: 'Koforidua Station, Gold Coast. The scene depicts Koforidua during the cocoa season and clearly demonstrates the manner in which the bulk of the 198,000 tons shipped from Gold Coast ports in 1923 is handled while en route for the Coast. Koforidua is the headquarters of the Eastern Province of the Colony and the centre of one of the main cocoa-producing areas'.
Guggisberg stated: '...the early morning sun at Koforidua Station with the perfect colouring of the laden cocoa carriers, contrasts with the station and the morning mists sweeping through the distant trees' (Guggisberg, Gold Coast News, no. 25).
