Der Häuptling, umgeben von seinen Sprechern und Trabanten, sitzt in der Mitte unter seinem Staatsschirm. - Wenn auf unsern Reisen in einem Dorfe eine solche Versammlung stattfindet und die Leute nicht zu sehr aufgeregt sind, bitten wir sie, ihre Verhandlung für eine Weile abzubrechen, was sie gewöhnlich bereitwilligst thun - wenigstens in Okwawu - und wir benützen diese schöne Gelegenheit um ihnen die gute Botschaft zu verkündigen."

(RI).  - Caption in the album: "Abankwa hearing a court case. Important cases are sometimes heard on the street. The chief, surrounded by his speakers and entourage, sits in the middle under his state umbrella. If we come across a gathering of this kind when we are on trek, and if the people are not too worked up, we ask them to interrupt their proceedings for a while, which they usually do very willingly, at least in Okwawu. And we use this fine opportunity to preach the good news of the gospel."  - NB The French version of this album ('Quatre-vingt vues de la Cote d'Or d'Afrique') does not mention anything about a court case and simply entitles the picture "Chief Abankwa surrounded by his people".

On the upper left one sees his big palanquin, to the right on the floor is the carrying-chair decorated with furniture nails. Both were made here. Whenever he goes on a journey or to see the King he lets himself be carried either in the palanquin or on the chair." - In the French caption it is the palanquin which is specifically stated to be of local make, the origin of the chair is left open. (PJ 7/98). - A curous point about this photograph is that the chief appears not to be wearing sandals - i.e. his bare feet are resting on the earth. His left foot seems to be bandaged. (PJ 07.1998).

Five to eight of them sit around each bowl, using their fingers to transport a piece of fufu with soup to their mouths." - The French version of the album ('Quatre-vingts vues...')  says that they have a day off every month to go travelling with the missionaries.

He get to know us during our captivity in the Asante capital, and has frequently visited us since. He was one of about forty executioners who used to surround the King. These men were prepared for this terrible profession from their youth. In Kumase we saw young executioners who were scarcely fourteen years old. We can say with confidence that over the years this man will have beheaded more than 700 people."

For a year now we have had a catechist in Odumase, a place near his captial. The beginnings have been difficult, but we hope now that our Mission is firmly established in this area." - The caption in the French version ('Quatre-vingts Vues...') makes it clear that the town involved is Odumase Asante, and says that the catechist is "full of zeal."

Abankwa sits under his large coloured umbrella, a sign of his dignity as chief." - There must be other possible explanations for Abankwa's head-scarf (PJ 7/98).
