EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Ashantee War, Ascension Island, the Sanatorium for the Sick and Wounded" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into the aftermath of the Ashantee War. Set against the backdrop of Ascension Island's picturesque hills and main road, we witness a scene of compassion and healing. The sanatorium stands proudly on top of a hill, serving as a refuge for those injured during battle. This image showcases not only the physical landscape but also highlights the importance of healthcare and medicine during times of conflict. The wounded soldiers depicted here are receiving essential medical services from dedicated professionals who tirelessly tend to their injuries. Asclepius, symbolizing healing and medicine in Greek mythology, seems to watch over them from afar. The presence of medical supplies further emphasizes society's commitment to ensuring physical health amidst adversity. "The Ashantee War" engraving serves as both historical documentation and an ode to human resilience. It reminds us that even in times marked by violence and suffering, there is always hope for recovery and restoration. Through this artwork captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can appreciate how art can shed light on important moments in our past while inspiring contemplation about our present-day approach to healthcare and well-being.
