EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Off to Ashantee, Our Soldiers and Sailors manning the Capstan" captures a powerful moment in history. Created by William Small in 1873, this print showcases the bravery and unity of our military forces during the Ashanti War. In the image, soldiers and sailors are seen working together to operate the capstan on a naval ship. The men are dressed in their uniforms, showcasing their dedication to duty. Among them stands a bagpiper, adding a touch of musical inspiration to their efforts. The presence of bagpipes suggests that these brave individuals may be Scottish or have Scottish heritage. The sound of this traditional instrument would have provided motivation and lifted spirits as they prepared for battle. This engraving not only highlights the strength and resilience of our armed forces but also pays homage to the power of music as an integral part of military culture. It serves as a reminder that even amidst challenging circumstances, camaraderie prevails. As we gaze upon this historic scene captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who serve our country. This print is a testament to their unwavering commitment and serves as an enduring symbol of honor and valor within our armed forces.
