EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving, titled "The Ashantee War: how I Took Coomassie: 1" takes us back to the historic Anglo-Ashanti conflict in Ghana during 1873. The image showcases a pivotal moment as the British forces make their grand entrance onto enemy territory. With an air of anticipation, they land with great force, ready to face the main body of the Ashanti army that has yet to be encountered. Intriguingly, we witness Fantee bearers burdened by heavy marching orders, highlighting the physical toll and dedication required for this military campaign. As mid-day approaches, a temporary halt is made for reconnaissance purposes - a strategic move to assess their surroundings and plan ahead. As dusk falls upon them, an encampment is established under cover of darkness. Little do they know that a night surprise awaits them - perhaps foreshadowing both danger and triumph in equal measure. "The Ashantee War: how I Took Coomassie: 1" not only offers insight into this significant historical event but also serves as a testament to Victorian-era illustrative techniques. This engraved image beautifully captures the essence of 19th-century style through its intricate details and retro aesthetic. With its rich cultural significance and artistic craftsmanship, this print from Liszt Collection transports us back in time while reminding us of humanity's enduring quest for conquest and victory on foreign lands.
